Wow that's kind of shocking. Did it break off during removal due to swelling or just all on it's own?

That's awesome to know! Don't want to fight with them when it comes time for replacing again. I was terrified that I had glow plugs that were gonna be hardcore stuck in the motor when I started this process. 13gs are supposedly self limiting, but mine were still kind of swollen, enough that they...

Don't think I'll ever go full 12v. I love how powerful the 24v starter is. Most of the time it starts the engine almost instantly with how fast it spins. From what I've read in other threads the only downsides to bypassing to straight 12v for just the plugs is it draws kinda heavy on the front...

I thought it was kind of long too, but I watched a few cold start videos with cucvs specifically, and most of those wait lights stayed on for about 17 seconds as well. I don't think it'll hurt good self limiting plugs unless its shooting more that 12v into them. Is there any way that the truck...

Alrighty, had it parked outside tonight and woke up before sunrise to start it up, was at best 26 degrees ambient temp and it started up like it was 70 and sunny out with no cold advance at all. Wait light ran for 17 seconds and coincided with the plugs recieving power. I'm satisfied with this...

Huh. That's interesting. Before and after the new glow plugs my relay (solenoid ?) clicks on and off a couple times for ~4 second intervals after startup when its cold. It never stayed on steady like you're saying. Whatever is making the clicks I hear whether it be relay or solenoid it does...

Got the truck all put back together today, started like a champ. Though to be fair this time around it was 40 degrees ambient, not windy, and in direct sunlight. I'll have to see how the new plugs handle an actual cold start before I say they're good or not. The wait light stayed on a lot...

So they all tested between 1.0-1.3 Ohms, and they all turned out to be authentic. Bosch has unique 18 digit codes on each glow plug box with the aforementioned holographic decal showing the last 6 digits a second time on the packaging. This is where you cross check the codes...

Good intel. Mentioned this to a buddy of mine at work, a speed shop he goes to made a public post warning people about fake Bosch fuel injectors. I'll make sure they're legit.

The Bosch plugs I got are the other common self limiting choice. Comparable to the 60g but slightly faster heating. Still not anywhere near as fast as a swellman, but I'm not putting that crap in my engine. My old crusty plugs were 13Gs which are also supposedly self limiting, but I read that...

Had the joy of having my truck barely start at 44 degrees the other day, it's time for glow plugs. Picked out Bosch 80034s based on several different opinions from here and other sites. Saw a couple reviews mention occasionally having quality control issues with a plug or two, mainly with...
