So about two days after I find my old mans PSD has one glow plug working his truck gives my truck glow plug fever and now I only got three workin' . Shouldn't have parked so close to him with such a contagious disease I guess . Never changed the ones on my Dad's truck but gonna do mine. Anything I should know before diving into this. I've already tested GPR and glow plugs and it's deffinately the plugs. Is there a certain GP that is better than others. Thanks.

I so wish I had found this piece of information, BEFORE I did mine :

Glow plug removal:
This is a straight-forward service. After removing the valve covers and unplugging the glow plug(s), loosen the glow plug a couple of turns (10mm deep socket, 1/4" drive). Then push a 4-6" piece of vacuum line over the end of he glow plug and use the hose to unscrew and remove it. Use the hose to install and screw in the glow plug, then tighten with the socket. The socket will contact the rocker arms if used to remove the glow plug.
