    Looking for a thread on replacing glow plugs

    yes...inner fender on the passengers side is easiest. I actually left 6 alone until I do my downpipe. For the swollen ones, I pulled the injectors and pried the GPs out with pliers and a pry bar. Vaccumed out the precup (I did shove some gauze in there to make sure no big pieces fell in). -P

    OPS Size and location?

    I ended up getting some flex tubing, and attached a ground line (via a screw tapped into the fitting) for the ground. USPS decided I can't get my PMDCable extension until I sign for it. Now, to top it off, I can't pass emissions due to failing the snap test. CDR, CDR grommet, boost...

    Argh! Stupid OPS!

    Wait... The sensor itself needs to be grounded? I just had a shop here fab up a hose (using hydraulic hose)... in case my PMDCable extension didn't show up tomorrow. So, to make it work I need to ground it somehow? It doesn't come through the harness? -P

    OPS Size and location?

    Weird. Mine goes into a brass elbow-like fitting, then goes to the pass-side. I have the PMDCable extension on the way, but want to make sure I'm on solid footing when it gets here. What prompted this was when I popped the connecter off of the OPS to do a relay, I popped the top of the...

    Argh! Stupid OPS!

    What size fittings did you use for the block? Did you keep the brass section that the OPS originally attached to? How much hose is OK? After getting that damn thing out last night, I'd love it anywhere but it's stock location. -P

    OPS Size and location?

    What size is the oil pressure switch? I've got big hands, and I'm trying to find out what size wrench to wrap around it. Also: Does it go right into the block or is there a 90 degree brass fitting? -P '94 TD HD Burb

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    Whelp... Just spent some "mod money" I had set aside for a new downpipe and crossover. Bought a Heath kit, which from my understanding, will be the last PMD I buy. *sigh* Not sure how GM never ended up in a class-action if these things fail all the damn time. -P

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    Who did you get your kit through? I'm looking at a Heath, but I'm looking into everything at this point. -P

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    Awww crap. Whelp.... code 36. (also 29, 46,49,71,76 but I had the cluster off for a few minutes). I just got done decrapifying the 'Burb by pulling the remote start. Had to splice a few wires back together (marine grade butt splices). I took her for literal "spin around the block", and she...

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    I think, with reasonable certainty, that the lack of heat dissipation was what killed that PMD. After I had assembled my Heath knockoff, I fired it up and let it idle for a few minutes. After those 5 minutes, I could feel the heat on the bottom of the heatsync. So, it just being taped there...

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    Whelp... no pics, but the PMD was just electrical taped to the bumper. Just taped. I built a Heath knockoff of my own, for about $12 in materials. -P

    The oil pressure sender can shut the engine off? -P

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    That's the Heath kit, right? I've seen others with a big heatsync stuck to the body of the PMD.... would that work too? -P

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    OK... I'm missing the link to the PMD issues. I went to the tech library, but PMD had nothing that was linkable...

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    OK... Will do. From the way the PO explained it, relocating was all it needed. -P

    C2500 HD TD 'Burb dies, fires back up.

    New (to me 'Burb) has some "issues". OK... I'm driving along, 40 or so miles later, my 6.5TD dies. I pull over, it fires right back up. I go a couple blocks up the road, same thing. It does it once more. I get back on the freeway, and I'm good all 40 miles back. The PO gave me a BOX of PMDs...

    Glow plugs swollen... can't get tips out through injector port!

    I'm installing Delphi HDS309s... from the looks of it, that's what I'm pulling too. The PO said he had the injectors repaired/replaced, along with a fuel pump (?). The truck runs good, but I'm just cleaning up some shenanigans. There's the GP issue, some wiring, and a turbo solenoid that...

    Glow plugs swollen... can't get tips out through injector port!

    Here's what 2 of the ones I pulled today looked like, compared to a new plug.

    Glow plugs swollen... can't get tips out through injector port!

    I haven't. I do know that the PO had used it before... Says he'd give it a quick spray from time to time. That's why I'm doing all the GPs. -P

    Sweet.... Anyone got one they can lend out for a week? -P
