Glow Plug Testing
There was a website that someone recommended last year that did an excellent job of walking you through testing and changing the glow plugs. Seemed like it had a blue background. Just wondering if anyone can remember what it was. Thanks

I think this is the link you want. It is for the 94-97 trucks but the principles are the same on the newer ones. I see you have a 97 but for those with newer trucks, 99 added a second relay for the intake heater (if so equipped) and reduced the number of plugs at each valve cover gasket from two to one.

My pickup file is 6.89 meg so it has a bit of stuff. I just copy stuff out when I find it and save it usually in MS Word. A full typed page is somewhere around 10 K so I would guess 600 - 700 pages of info.
Just keep collecting.

Whoah! I like the way you think. Let me know if you ever decide to post that info file somewhere (Broadband is great for downloading big files
).
