  Ford 7 3L Diesel glow plugs

Me way of testing glow plugs... A pair of jumper cables. With glow plug they either work or they don't. Remove them hook them up to the jumpers if they get cherry red they are good. If nothing happens, guess what? There bad.

The book calls for 3.2 hours to replace all of them. That is for some one with intermediate skill level. I do not know what your skill level is. But it is cold out side right now as you stated. You may just want to call around and find a shop with a cheap labor rate or some one that does side work.

Also have you been plugging the truck in over night? If not That will definitely help. If you are I would sure not forget because chances are you Will not get it started in the morning until you get it warmed up with the block heater.

  Ford 7 3L Diesel glow plugs

I have stayed in a few hotel/motels over the winter months when I had my PS. I basically walked around the building until I found an out side outlet or If it was a ground level room parked as close as possible and ran an extension cord. Management never had a problem with showing me where one was if I could not find one my self either.

It time issue is why I said what the labor rate was. To get something tore down and then run out of day light can really burn you up (first hand experience over and over again).

The Cummins has the manifold heater in place of glow plugs.
