Hey guy's I was told this engine was likely from a homy van or somthing of the sort from others on the forum. Having issues with starting after the truck sits and it has become semi cold overnight then has no issue starting later in the day.

It is a TD-27T are all the glow plugs the same? Does anyone have a diagram showing where they are and how to remove? Is this a quick easy 30 minute job? I know they are manually hooked up to a switch that I must manually hold.

Can I simply grab some off ebay for a TD-27t or is there any model specific changes I need to be aware of?

NGK Part # 6140 {#Y712RS}

I found these on rock auto.. $30 shipping for me to the USA but seems like a good bet? Can anyone confirm?

Give them a good soak with CRC/WD40 before you try and remove them, a sheared glow plug is no fun.

Thanks for the headsup. I agree that sounds like hell. Can anyone else chime in?
