I hadn't thought of a PID, but I would rather use something a little more ingonito. I was hoping to make it work like a factory application. I had heard of people using a 6.2l GM diesel glow plug controller, but the temperature switch is non-existant now, so it isn't worth trying that.
I have heard of a lot of people don't even need the damn grid heater, but someone has had their dirty d*** beater in this engine, and it doesn't like to start in the cold <50. I have to cycle the key once and let the timer run a second time before it will start, so I would like to have something like factory working. Most people just put a momentary and work it on their own. I have nice little timed relays that I would activate with a momentary so I don't have to sit there with my finger on the button. The dash also already has a "wait" light on it, so I would use that too
