My first YouTube video! Glow plug test TEST VIDEO

[Fishin76]

've made a test video, it's not that great. but a valiant FIRST try. I had never put a video on YouTube, so salt your criticism a little. My Son was the camera man, and got confused with the controls a little. It'll all be worked out by the time the full video is made

are they also ok to use 7.3 turbo, and what is the cost

 

[Fishin76]

You would have to switch your wire harness ends to spades, past that, I don't know. If you had a push button already, probably. These were not made for 7.3's though. and the Wellman GP's for 7.3's are NOT self-regulating or dual coiled. These were 8.43 a piece shippped to my door from Indy. Pretty good price, $68 a set.

nice never seen one glow before

The camera masks it a little, but they get white hot, and I don't know about anybody else, but I find it impossible/painfull to look at with the naked eye. Really makes you appreciate how they are made, that they can survive that kind of intense heat over and over again.

Congratulations on your first YouTube Vid!!! I thought it was made better than some I've seen, and nice demonstration to boot. After watching I subscribed, so Keep 'em coming. For A first time, Well done!

Actually, the camera made these seem more hot. They were more of a yellow hot, than white.

Nice Job! I'm really surprised it held up for 3 minutes!

Fun stuff, cant wait to see some non regulated plugs burn.

 

[Fishin76]

Thats why I'm testing these and others. To see which ones make the grade, and which ones don't!

To the GP's credit, those are self regulating dual coil plugs. That means that as they heat up, they increase resistance to slow the heating, and (hopefully) don't burn out for a long time, ( especially only using them 10 sec at a time with the stock controller) 3 minutes = 15 starts with after glow included.)

I'm running dual coil wellmans in my truck seeing this makes me feel a bit better about it. A few of the other member here have not had such good luck with wellman GPs. I'm not sure if they were the dual coil plugs or not though.

 

[Fishin76]

ONLY the '88's from wellman are dual coils. ALL others are standard single coil plugs. How 6.9L owners get so lucky?

CDX, if you put in '80's, your's can still burn out if over burned.
