I bought this 7.3 idi truck a while back and it had tons of problems. The last big one(I hope) is the glow plug system. The man who owned it before snapped off a glow plug flush with the head on cylinder 3 and as badly as I wanted to leave it in there the “ do things right” part of me decided to go ahead and dig it out while I had the fuel lines off and all. I was able to get the threads and glow plug body out but the heating element is still in the bottom. I’m able to blow the other end up thru the injector hole and grab onto it with pliers but it won’t pull out. I think it’s bent in a U shape and I just can’t get it I’m trying whatever I can to not pull the motor to pull the heads but I don’t want to tear it up. I’m able to get new glow plug and injector in so I can run it but if I do will it fall into the cylinder and tear up the wall or piston or would it chew it up and spit it out the exhaust? Also my oil pan gasket is leaking but not bad enough for me to wanna fix it. But if I pull the motor I could kill two birds with one stone.
