I have had a couple of bad glow plugs since I have owned ol clifford.
It never was a big deal as I dont usually drive him everyday.

Lately my dd has been at my dads so clifford has been getting driven everyday.
Its going to be darn cold tomorrow so I quit putting off the inevitable.

#5 was bad....#6 plug, harness, gasket burned up...grr but I have not ever had that one off...

Pass side I replaced vc, harnesses and rear pig tail 15000 miles ago. I was in a pinch so I did the unthinkable..doorman.
Up until now it has in general run fine and I figured just the two gp were my cold start smoke.
Well that darn doorman front plug inside is all burned up...grr never again.
I had not had anything bad to say about the doormans but that ship sailed.
What crap pisspoor quality. I will never suggest them and am very sorry to anyone I ever turned onto them.
I am feeling much better with the used ford gaskets I had kept from other projects just in case than a new set of crap doormans.

Sd ford units WILL be going in with the other work hopefully very soon.
Pics to follow tonight...

 

Sorry to hear that, Aaron. Were these the one piece Dorman units or the old style?

I agree the SD stuff is the way to go.

 

The old style.
I am swearing off doorman.their stuff just ships american jobs and quality off to who knows where.

 

Ya, I had the old style dormans on mine 5ish years ago and I had burnt pins on 3 of the gp's after 3 years, but only 10k miles. SD style is the way to go and cheaper.

 

Yep, SD! Darin helped me a lot on my install.

 

Dang I need to win the darn lottery..

Guess maybe I need to work tomorrow to fix the fuel leak down on the frame rail...

I need my old crappy dodge dd back!

Had a smoke/hacking-yacking free start after work at 25° so its much better for the first time in 3years lol

 

Wooo freak in hoooo he started after work at 5°…… that is simply amazing!

 

And you have turn signals that work now, don't forget that!! Lol

 

I'm doing the SD gaskets and harnesses on mine when the time comes. I just did some on a '97 for a guy and I like them. I ordered them from Clay and it's about half as much to buy the Ford SD stuff as it is the Ford OBS stuff, and in my opinion it's an upgrade for our trucks, so it's a win win.

 

Yep yep.
The SD stuff is stupid better than the obs stuff ever will be.
Sad but true.


Yea my turn signals are quite nice now that they aren't manual lol
