Glow plugs
About a year ago I threw po672 , six months later po673, yesterday po675. As I understand it these are all glow plug related. Truck starts and runs great. I am in south Louisiana so cold weather is not really a problem. Should I go ahead and get these replaced or is it only starting in cold weather related?

It would bother me knowing there was an issue and not fixing it.

They can be a challenge to remove. The harness will break taking it off. Have replacement on hand.
You can ohm them easily to see if it is the gp or the module.
Only use OEM too.

If you get the plug pulling tool two things that you need to keep in mine.
Make sure that the tool is all the way on the boot and not just the legs.
This is a DiesleTechRon tip. Put a little bend in the tool. Makes it a lot better pulling angle.
Ron shows how he has bent the tool to make is easer to use. Go to about 2:05 into the video.

put the truck on jack stands and pull the front wheels and remove the fender liner much easier and you can see everything

That works just fine unless you got factory
fender flares where you cannot remove the
inner wheel well liner because they’re
trapped under the flares.
