hello everyone.. first off thanks for the add.
i had 4 glow plug codes. cylinders 1,2 7,8. was dreading cylinder 8 but it came out. i went to use the air chisel attachment for cylinder 1 and the rusty glow plug broke off. so i stopped. resprayed knock loose on it. heat cycled the engine and resprayed. . oddly the head of this glow plug was a 10 mm not the 12mm cylinder 8 had. in fact the rest appear to be a smaller hex side. . my question is what techniques have you tried that worked. . i was going to try an easy out but they seem to cause more problems . however irwin makes a nut extractor set that may work on the protruding peace..
just looking for ideas. my early 99 f-250 has well over 500,000 miles i'm hoping this 06 duramax proves to be as reliable..
thanks in advance
