Hard starting and lopping ?
During warm weather starts, this '01 7.3 starts, but you have to restart glow plugs a few times. When it does starts it lops. When the engine is warm, it starts fine with no lopping. Would this have anything to do with the weight of the oil? Any ideas? Thanks

I think i may need new glow plugs so what are a good brand and what do i need to stay away from. And what pins in the 4 valve cover plugs are for the glow plugs inside 2 or outside 2 i'll be heading out to the driveway with the old multmeater later on. Thanks

The pins you are looking for on a 94.5 to 97 are the A & E pins which are the outer two pins and on 99 up they are the outer two on each side of the plug and what I do to test them is clamp my test light to the positive side of the battery and probe the valve cover pins and if the light turns on the glow plug is good.
