Yeah I'm afraid to see what happens when I go to try and pull the GPs. I don't know the previous maintenance on the truck, its super clean so I'm guessing it was loved very much but but for all I know, they could be the stock glow plugs! When I do a full cycle on them the truck takes longer to crank... versus this morning it was 30 degrees this morning and didn't cycle them and the truck started like it was a nice warm sunny day??

I've considered those too Rog. Good to see a positive review.

Just to add to it Pete. Approximately one (1) year ago I had the valve covers off and decided to pull the glow plugs just for grins and giggles to see how they were holding up. There was no swelling and virtually carbon free.

hey, I have a 97 PSD. I've been thinking about injectors. Way back when ever I put in a Banks Stinger kit. It had a turbo housing, chip , and exhuast(down pipe). 240,000 on it now. I just want a some more power . I'm thinking about stage one injectors. I pull often. Ican put them in and maybe build them (minus machine work). Is this a bad idea because of the miles?
not so much a bad idea, just be able to replace or rebuild the tranny if and when the time comes with the new sticks, really watch your EGTS if you do sticks with the smaller housing, yeah it spools faster but it can yeild some high egts with sticks in there. if you dont mash it with a trailer on all the time you should be fine
