Glow PLugs

[ZachBoyer]

Ok. So I replace my GPR and truck still didnt start this morning so now on to glow plugs. Anything special I need to know. I am following Injector Install Instructions [Archive] - Powerstroke Nation
to get the valve cover off and I am following PowerStroke repairs for the actual plugs.

Are you sure the new relay is working did you check with a meter? Also you should ohm out your glow plugs before you just replace in case they arent bad either.

Are you sure it's the glow plugs??

[ZachBoyer]

Well its a new relay so I assume its working. I live in apartment and dont have a multimeter. Beside I got 16 glow plugs at .01 a piece so I dont see the harm in replacing them

[vitalidle]

Yeah you really should put a meter on the relay because it could be okay and its in the ignition circuit or the pcm circuit. Being that its a 95 there is a good chance your plugs are going bad, but man thats alot of work if they don't need to be changed.

Hmmmmm just wondering if the no start is related.

[ZachBoyer]

Arent they as easy as spark plugs? all I gotta do is take the valve cover off and replace them right?

[vitalidle]

Well definately not as easy as spark plugs its a lot of work taking the valve covers off and if you break a glow plug off thats not good. Let me see if I can find you a writeup but really you should spend 20 bucks buy a meter you just might not have to replace any or maybe only a couple.

My buddy is the Master Diesel Mechanic in my town should I go down to him. Can they test the Glow Plugs like a Injector Contribution Test. In otherwords can he hook the ford computer to my truck and tell me if its my GP's?

Here you can test them yourself save you some money Troubleshooting GPR & GP's
