Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I received 10 ch-182 (wrong) today as well. Talked to Rock Auto and sent them PICs. They said wrong stock pull and will ship correct ones as soon as I send these back via fedex. Will ship when their return label is scanned at my drop off. Strange because I tried to order from them a month ago when they sold eaches and they had none. Champion site hasn't had any for several weeks. I suspect I'll wind up getting a refund rather than the plugs I want.Hey Rapracing,
Did you receive your glowplugs from Rockauto yet? I just received mine and they are NOT the correct ones. They shipped me CH182 plugs. They are metric threads.
I spoke to Champion and they are currently out as well...expecting more in April-June timeframe. The very knowledgeable lady I spoke with at Champion confirmed that CH42 has a SKU number of CHA182. CHA182 is NOT the same thing as a CH182 glowplug. I explained this to the phone rep at RockAuto who noted everything down and is issuing an RMA for my glowplugs.
Just wanted to let everyone know.
You got the right ones. The CH182 is tiny. You would see difference right away.Yes they came today. I had two here from when I bought before. They sent me the same thing. They worked the last time si I don't know now. The box end of the old ones and the ones I just received have a 182 with CH42 under that. I would have thought I would have noticed a different threat the last time I put them in. Did you confirm on one if your old ones that they are in fact the wrong ones
ETA: can anyone else confirm one way or the other??

Jerry,
I am concerned and wondering now. How are your boxes labeled? As I said above the end of my box has a 182 with CH42 under it. The reason for the concern is they are the same plugs I used in my 002 and I don't recall the thread being different or being difficult in any way to get to screw in. Did I manage to get the wrong plugs in my 002? I sure hope not
I looked at the plugs, both old and new ones, and its says "CH42" on them. Also says 24v on one side of the nut and looks like "6F".
Thanks Jerry. I just opened all 10 to be sure they were all labeled CH42 on the plug and they are. Maybe I got the last they had or maybe like they said someone just pulled the wrong ones for you guys.My boxes were marked CH182. Compare the threads and overall size...as Jerry said they are different.
it sounds like you lucked out and got the correct ones.

The pics I posted on Page 1 of this thread were from an 002 that was in excellent condition and said 7.1 hours. Obviously it was reset so it had more hours on it that the meter said. As you can see the one plug had rusted almost completely off before I started working on it and it broke immediately when I started. I decided to check the other one (it tested okay and was working fine) when I saw how the first one was bulbed at the end and was glad I did. It was tight coming out through the hole because of the swelling. I am not sure what I'd do in your case. If they come out easy it would not be a big deal and if there are no issues you would be covering your bases in case they ever do need replaced. I had a friend decide to check his when he saw my plugs. Both of his tested okay but both were swollen on the ends and tight coming out because of that.My MEP-002A had 2 hours on it when I bought it and is in "like new" condition. I believe my glow plugs work fine because it starts up with no real problems ever. After looking through this thread, it sounds l should take my glow plugs out and put anti-sieze on them, then reinstall them. I love to keep my equipment PM'ed!
