My guess is if it doesn't melt it will get soft enough and come apart from the vibration. You could try it though but make sure the wire is protected in case it comes apart and contacts metal during the glow cycle.

If it fails you could try silver solder.

yeah i was, i just hate to buy a new one cause it is brand new already, not cheap just poor
You could crimp on a new one, I did that on my old 96 6.5 as they were all rusted horrible. Just use them slandered ends you get in the wiring section at the parts store. Couple bucks for a hand full of them. Worked fine for years with some heat shrink on it :thumbsup:

solder will work fine. I had a 1974 chevy dump I installed a 6.2 with Banks turbo kit. The clearance between exhaust manifold and #6 and #8 glow plugs was so tight that I removed the tabs, soldered a 3 inch piece of wire on and soldered the tab to the end of the wire. Never had the solder come loose on them.
