7.3 man
7.3 idi man
I have my 7.3 on a manual button and just wondering I heard all over that you cant glow for longer than 15 seconds but the controller used to turn them on for 20 seconds so just wondering how long I could glow for?
Gklow plugs how long do they glow for?

It really depends on ambient temperature, and engine temp.

The GPC will "cycle" the glowplugs for approximately 20-30 seconds, which means it would light them for about 10 seconds, then cycle the glowers on and off to prevent them from burning out. If you have a manual glow plug system...be careful not to use autolites and dont hold them for more than 10 seconds in my opinion. Beru or bosch plugs seem to work very well for manual systems.
