[QUOTE="PsRumors, post: 124516, member: 676"] The glow plugs are only going to draw what they are capable of drawing. You cannot force the GP system to pull more amps with a higher amp alternator. But if your alernator is providing to high a voltage that could create a problem. Think about a lightbulb at 100 watts. That light bulb only pulls .83 amps. Typically a light will be on a 15 AMP circuit at 120 volts. The light bulb only pulls what it needs. Of course if you change the circuit to 240 volts the bulb will blow as soon as you turn it on. The GPs opperate on the same way. [/QUOTE]
