    Depends on how hot the glow plugs get. I had trouble with moisture in the deeply recessed plug boots on 5.4L Ford V8. I installed new boots and did everything in Permatex dielectric grease. Heat melted it out of boots and plug connector.

    Meet Mr Rusty

    I follow you, did not say anything because never owned one, and could not help you. I do not want to fill threads with useless comments. My reason for asking about the fix was so if someone has the same problem in the future, they can search the archives and find your solution. As for...
