First thanks for all the get well wishes. I have the best subscribers here so thanks for supporting my channel !
I'm still working on the green P38 and fixing the injection pump on it. Since I have everything out with easy access to do some more preventive maintenance.
The glow plugs should measure about 1Ω when good (±20%). That makes them draw about 12A each for a total of 72A when the glow system is active.
Remove the 8mm nut holding the cable onto each glow plug. Then use a 12mm socket to remove the glow plugs. Torque the glow plugs to 20 Nm (14 ft lbf) and the cables to 4 Nm (3 ft lbf). My new plugs came with new cable nuts.

Retiming the green P38 pump didn't solve the hesitation and "stalls", so I'm going to try the old black P38 pump since that pump never had those issues. It's also rebuilt and I think I can make it work. But that'll be another video.
I've been having some AC squeal issues on both P38s. Now I finally figured out the issue. The pulleys were worn, but not broken. The belt kept slipping and it was because I hadn't adjusted the belt correctly. Now both ACs work fine.
