    another glo plug question

    Thanks, That's what I thought, I guess I shoulda tested em all before installing... :mad: With the plugs in the truck If I test less than 3 Ohms at the plug then the GP should be good, yeah? Thanks again.

    another glo plug question

    I'm currently trying to switch over to manual control of my GPs. I have replaced all the plugs but I cant get one to get hot. Cant I just hook one up to the battery with jumpers and watch it get hot? The plugs I have are AC delco 10.5V, Why don't they get hot on 12.75V? What am I doing...

    Glo plug broke off.....

    So the other seven came out just fine. The engine rolls over fine by hand, Not in first gear tho....(Face palm) This leads me to think I should just return the AC Delco GPs and order some motor craft ones? I'm thinking You folks are right and it broke of a long time...

    Glo plug broke off.....

    The GP that I bought are ACdelco. I thought it was just the Auto craft that needed staying away from? My compression tester is old as dirt, I've had it as long as I can remember. I can't say if it came from Harbor Freight or not..... I was gonna use my mouth, and I don't work in a bus stop...

    Glo plug broke off.....

    Yeah, The GP in #2 was testing bad. All the rest test ok. Errrr, how soft is the tip of a GP? I would think that #2 cyl is toast if that fell in and got run? May hap that's why my truck has such little power and so much smoke? I'll try turning over by hand but wont I be fighting a lot...

    Glo plug broke off.....

    Man I'm having a bad day.... The #2 glo plug tip is missing.... In servicing my 1985 f 250 6.9 I noticed the #2 was testing bad. I'm changing over my plugs to manual control and figured now is the time to get the system in tip top shape...... How screwed am I? I'm guessing the head...
