Is it best to use a rocking back and forth motion or a twisting motion if one is stuck? Also, do you think they are the glow plugs? Kev- TheBAT

Glow Plug Replacement Help?!
Batteries came back good...They said my alternator may need to be replaced, however both of my batteries were fully charged. Could this be an indication of hard starting or would you say it's the glow plugs? Also am I getting in over my head as in, are they really difficult to replace...- TheBAT

Thank you for the picture and assistance! I don't have a meter to test that. Would it be wise to have the batteries tested before removing the glow plugs? I have read that you can test the glow plugs using a test lamp, where the positive is hooked to the battery, and you touch the end of the...- TheBAT

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...- TheBAT
