not always, if the plugs shorted out and melted, then yes. if they are cracked, then yes. but if they look good, then you'll be fine.

Ok. That's a big chunk of change for some gaskets.

Gaskets and wiring are reuseable. However they sometimes fail so it's always good to inspect them. I had some time today and replaced the glow plugs in the SD.. It's not a difficult job.

Huh would of thought taken longer, if I get to finding out vc gaskets need replaced after tearing apart is that a dealer item or can I go to any parts store?

I would get them from a parts supplier like Partsguyed or Riffraff... I personally would try to stick with OEM stuff for the gaskets or harnesses. Chances are you will not need to replace them.

Ok. Yeah I figured that about parts but if I do run into problem means my truck will be Dow a few days waiting and blocking garage.

If the truck is running, the harnesses are doing their job at this point in time...

Right,I've yet to check relay but I'm assuming since it's starting that's not the problem.
