Hey all,
I have a 1996 F350 crew cab four by four with 200,000 miles. The truck has been a pain to start. It will roll over but it won't start, with lots of white smoke coming out of the tailpipe. I initially replaced the GPR hoping that would solve my problems. Unfortunately it did not, and the truck will usually take up to five cycles of the ignition switch being turned on and off before the truck will finally start. With the mileage on the truck I would bet money they are in need of a replacement. The local service station wants almost 500 bucks to do the replacement...How hard is it to replace them myself? Any suggestions or diagrams would be greatly appreciated. Also, what should I expect to pay for glowplugs? One place quoted me at 20 bucks a pop the other place said 10? Thank you in advance for your replies!
