I just got a repair quote of $800.00 to replace all 4 glow plugs on my 2002 F350 Diesel Powerstroke. Ouch!!! The plugs have never been changed. This is the first time.
To save money I was wondering how hard it would be to do myself and if anybody out there can tell me how to do it or if there are any step-by-step instructions online to help me out.
Mechanic says it needs done immediately! It starts fine when I keep it plugged in. However, I cannot keep it plugged in at work. All this trouble started when it got 7 degrees below zero.
PLEASE HELP.

 

welcome to diesel bombers and check and see if this will help https://www.dieselbombers.com/ford-p...ng-issues.html this is brought to you from csipsd one of our own from right here on diesel bombers give him a shout of thanks if it works for you and if it doesnt feel free to ask questions here a good place to get them answered

 

First of all, there are more than 4, there are 8. They are easy enough to do yourself. Pull the valve covers and remove/reinstall. Done.

 

just don't break em off and put some anti sieze on the new ones

 

what diesel nut pretty simple to do almost like changing (and i dont want to say a bad word here) spark plugs except for removing the valve covers but it would be alot cheaper to do them yourself not too hard of a job. And btw there is alot of knowledge here if you happen to get stuck.

 

like i always say a good site and good people

not hard at all really, it'll take a few hours for the novice first timer

 

Oops, typo, 8 plugs. Thanks. I've got a lot of help from a lot of you. Will post my success (hopefully)

 

Good luck!
