Do I HAVE GLOW PLUGS ?

 

[ChillyDog]

No, the Cummins uses grid heaters.

No. Cummins utilizes an intake manifold heater to warm the air before it enters the head.

It is hard to believe that even with a direct injection combuston type motor, the Powerstrokes still utilize glow plugs from what I understand. I thought they did away with them at the end of 1994 when the last indirect injection diesel was made. Oops. . guess I was wrong.



We are fortunate to not have the worry of glow plugs. I would rather have a grid heater any day over little heater elements that fail over time!

They stuck them under the valve cover on the PSD.

PSD has Glow Plugs AND an intake air heater!

Yeah and I have 2 friends who's wires went bad and had to change the valve gaskets out. . $400. 00 bucks later... . It really kills them to see me get behind them on the hwy, they know whats coming next.
