from taking the glow plugs out of my truck...
I learned that Champion brand glow plugs swell..... #7 cylinder. AC Bosch autolite and (of course) beru were OK,
Learned that the PO never replaced all the glow plugs. 5 different kinds in the engine.
Learned that Stress is a bad thing. GP broke in #7 (half of the stickout length. haven't got it out yet. has not fallen into the engine yet, stuck in the hole.)
Learned that my CDR may need cleaned, since #7 must have ran hot to balloon the GP.
Learned that i may be better off with a RDT than a CDR.
Realized that I have to learn the vacuum trick to get the broken GP out.
Learned that i do not own a socket big enough to get an injector out.
Learned that the only plug working in my truck was a Bosch.
