6.0 Powerstroke glow plug replacement driver side

[@BCF860]

This is the Best Glow Plug Replacement Video on KZbin. Thank you

[@AutomedicGarage]

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped.

[@johnrichardson4222]

Great video it saves me a bunch. I paid $450.00 for number 1 glow plug to be replaced at a mechanic shop. Thats only one glow plug. I will do my own after this, thanks for your video.

[@AutomedicGarage]

John Richardson your welcome bud, I’m all about helping folks save some money doing something themselves

[@patrickwelch620]

I agree! This is the best way to get them out or to do a compression test. The Lisle tool for the glow plug harness and a prybar worked much better than the wire method for us though. Great video!

[@AutomedicGarage]

Thanks

[@jonjaystewart]

Good show. Gotta get to #8 myself this makes it a ton easier

[@qrs3658]

Good video. That was really straight to the point. i like videos like these. Keep doing more vides on the 6.0.

[@boat8ng123]

Thank you for your video's. They have helped me with my 05 F350 6.0. My truck keeps throwing the P0683 code. I have replaced the plugs and the module and harnesses. All the ohm readings are good. Where do I go from here?

[@daveb3599]

Great way to do the glow plugs. And ya, love the Bronco! We had an 83. Should have never sold it.

[@SagesFactFile]

Great video but u have one question my glow plug number 5 is bad which glow plug is it at

[@AutomedicGarage]

@@SagesFactFile passenger side is odd, driver even. Front to back passenger is 1-3-5-7

[@juancarrasquillo2236]

Great video! I have a f 350 04 6.0 not dully harley davidson edition. Have it two codes p1000 and U0306 oil presure is good i think, i pull out oil cap and am staring and i can see feel out the oil cup but the gauge not indicate same that. I will apreciarte whatever tips.

[@hilham89]

Definitely make sure you know you engine build date before ordering. I just ordered the kit and came in, come to find out mine was an early 6.0 build🤦

[@AutomedicGarage]

That’s why I stress comparing glow plugs before you install the new.

[@hilham89]

@AutomedicGarage exactly. Good thing they was cheap ones. When I went to order the correct ones I got Motorcraft. That was when I first got mine and didn't really know anything about them or what to look for. Now I do.

[@jujurock64]

Great video…I am going to attempt this on my 2004 f350 6.0… should I change both sides to be safe? Thank u

[@AutomedicGarage]

I always recommend to....if you use genuine motorcraft parts you won’t have to worry for a long time.

[@davidrrodriguez]

Great explanation and visual example!

[@trevorashton4598]

Such a Manly video tks for sharing deer catch 😂😂😂thank you for the all the video 😂😂😂❤

[@mikef8769]

Definitely a great video! I have a 2007 6.0 powerstroke. Truck starts pretty good but engine definitely has a stumble for the first few minutes. After about 5 minutes engine runs great. I'm kind of leaning towards a weak glow plug. Never a miss after fully warm. Your opinion? Thanks

[@AutomedicGarage]

Change to 10-30 motorcraft oil. It will fix that and add arch oil

[@isimongames5347]

Nice, xdp sells some nice bosch glow plugs, they work really well, heat up faster then the motor craft ones, i’ve had really good luck with mine, i’d recommend them if you live in a climate where it’s cold 4-6 months out of the year.

[@AutomedicGarage]

Yes they do perform well but when it comes to longevity and reliability motorcraft is all I recommend and install

[@isimongames5347]

@@AutomedicGarage true, i’ve only ever used there oil and fuel filters for my truck, superior to any others.

[@Bacongrease00]

Motorcraft only, you melt a tip and it drops into the cylinder you will be so sorry

[@AutomedicGarage]

@@Bacongrease00 yep, what happens alot of times on 7.3s is they’ve been in there so long with so many heat cycles abs the tip has swollen and will break off. Then you get to remove a head when you go to replace them.

[@pakkelly]

Superb tutorial. Thank you.

[@luisgordillo1695]

once you spray the wd40 don't just pull up on the connector ! work at it up and down until the wd40 gets through the seal !! I do that with almost all types of jobs like these. works well . 🤘🤘

[@НикМарк-д1д]

Nice video. My glow plug It's full of oil when I'm replacing this is good or not. What's a can cause,or it's normal?? Tanks.

[@AutomedicGarage]

They are exposed to oil in the rocker box. That’s normal.

[@nutroll4205]

Just replaced mine. This video helped me a lot . I accidentally torqued mine down to only 160 inch pounds and not 168. Do you think it will be okay?

[@AutomedicGarage]

Should be fine, a lot of folks don’t even torque them but I do. The think to remember is those small threads are holding up to all that high compression.

[@nutroll4205]

@@AutomedicGarage appreciate it !!! Thanks for a great video. !!!

[@surefiremushroomsmicrogreens]

So I should buy the harness when doing this job? Don’t need to waste time going back to the auto store 30 minutes away?

[@AutomedicGarage]

@@surefiremushroomsmicrogreens yes it’s going to break. Don’t go cheap, buy motorcraft plugs and harness.

Bad ass I see you became a badass that you can work with one hand lol😂

[@genarogarcia6719]

When replacing the glow plugs we need to clear any codes or I'll do it itself?

[@AutomedicGarage]

If it threw a code previously the light will clear but will remain stored in the pcm as a soft code.

[@Norman7337]

Very helpful to me , thanks for sharing.

[@AutomedicGarage]

Glad it helped, make sure to check out our other 6.0 videos. Thanks for watching.

[@JeeperGear]

Are these engines known for glow plugs seizing and breaking off inside the holes?

[@AutomedicGarage]

They can seize if they’ve been over die for changing or if they have been replaced with something other than oem glow plugs. Cheap ones or ones that have been overdue can swell in the glow plug well.

[@leraybojangles711]

Changed both sides glow plugs & wire harnesses on 6.0 with Ford brand parts my truck still won't start. Is there something I'm missing here? Only have 107k miles on the truck.

[@AutomedicGarage]

You have a glow plug controller on the passenger side valve cover also. What is your truck doing?

[@Excellence-p4o]

Thanks!

I have a question for you. I noticed that your connection to the harness was close. Mine is under the turbo. The original harness is short and the original is very long. Do I need a different harness? I have an 04 6.0.

Try a drill on your meat grinder next time, it wont break the nut like an impact will. 🤙🤙

Do you have to use a torque wrench?

My Kung Fu1 it’s nothing to drastic early model 6.0 glow plugs are longer and the harness is slightly different vs late icp at the front of the passenger side valve cover is the tell all between early and late.
