Ahh. glow plugs... I'd like to change mine, as I was one of the lucky people to snag a set for 9 cents a few months ago... yup, remember the penny each at autozone deal? Tax took it to a wopping 9 cents total... my buddy who picked them up for me insisted that the salesman return all of his change from a quarter!
Back to topic..
As I have the glow plugs, and need to spend some time under the hood anyway, (cleaning the IC pipes and silicone boots) as well as remembering the hard starts of last winter, it makes sence to do it now. I'd also like to replace my batteries, and the bottom alternator.
My '99 work van w/PSD has no block heater cord... assumeing that it's there. Above the oil filter, right? I'll look closer one of these days, but the ol' van always starts easy. The SD, not so much... always needed the blockheater, and I like instant heat!
