Besides price would there be any reason not to buy from a local parts store especially if they have Bosch?

Thanks

As long as you get Bosch Duratherm glow plugs-the choice is yours where to purchase them.

 

And u might want to skip the ether! It will destroy a 6.5

 

WD 40 is a much safer starting aid for those engines,ether is addicting to the 6.5 and eats glow plugs.

 

I didn't know about WD40, I'll try that next time well, hopefully there won't be a next time . The advice came from a seasoned 6.5 diesel mechanic as a troubleshooting technique, to reduce the impact on the glow plugs we let it glow and cool before trying to start. Definitely not defending the technique, just saying it helped me figure things out in the problem.

Thanks for the advice

 

The 6.5 is such an orphan engine that very few mechanics are familiar with it,even fewer understand it and almost none know what it takes to keep it on the road.

Owner groups on forums like these are much more knowledgeable than most of the best trained technicians out there.

 

very true, where i work there is a diesel shop right next to me, and he works on alot of 6.4L, 6.0L, but he always has 6.5s that comeback about 5 times or stay there for a while

 

That's why I love boards and members, definitely a great knowledge base, but I will never discount experience from anyone including mechanics as a means to a repair. Heck, boards are full of these guys who just happen to have the internet.

Thanks Again,
Scott
