quick question. using a volt meter, what resistance should I be looking at in ohms for a set of AC Delco 60G glow plugs on a stock M1008?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Mangus have you ever burned out a glowplug testing them this way? I had a 6.2 that the PO had tested the GPs this way when he put new ones in. He burnt 7 of them up! I took his word that they were new and good and paid a price (money AND time) for my gullibility!First of all, I would not suggest using 60G's in a stock 1008.
Secondly... honestly, I wouldnt trust an ohm reading to be an end-all tell-all indication the plugs are good. You are much better off pulling each one, and powering them up to check them. I have measured a couple that indicate they are good, but in reality they are not.
Well... you dont hold the power on it for real long... Only takes a couple seconds to see they are heating.Mangus have you ever burned out a glowplug testing them this way?
