Glow plug issues

We just replaced the #5 injector. Went to take for a test drive and the 4 glow plug caps on passenger side popped off and leaking oil while driving. Pushed them back on and they popped off again. Any help would be appreciated. They shouldnt be under pressure should they.

Unfortuneately removeing the glow plug wire on a 6.0 has always been a problem to keep from breaking one they are help in place by a tension type clip if it spreads too far it will never hold right again.

Useually you have to replace the glow plug harness. Never found any replacement ends.

We have not replaced the plugs yet. Just the #5 injector. That is why it was odd the plug caps popped. Pulling plugs today and looking at the harness and caps.

Some times when working on one thing you will bump something else and cause damage to what you bumped. Only reason I can give.
