I also thought that the glow plug where pretty good on the 6.0, not many complaint about them. Is it hard to get at? Where are they?
I remember my old 7.3, my head was under the hood every winter for a burnt glow plug.

Not now, but do you want me to do the engine compression test?
I'll be looking the gauges if you want?
have you got the codes read?????? not, because my brother in love tell me it wasn't able(don't have any at the time to read) because the lack of time the truck was seating in the yard or where in the auction place.
