Glow plug replacement

Anybody know where I can buy a kit to replace all my glow plugs and wiring harness? Looking aftermarket if there is anything that exists.

on a 60, i dont think you will find any aftermarket harnesses and i would not recomend aftermarket glow plugs due to the issues and the level of difficultness to remove them.

Getting up around 200,000 km on the OD. Thought it would be a good idea. Not too sure how long they last.

I would only replace if you are having trouble starting when cold.Like bowtiehtr was saying....its pretty involved to replace them so the ole adage is if it aint broke dont fix.

200k is nothing. Unless your having problems starting, I wouldn't sweat it.

OK, well I have no problems with that area. Its after when the injectors misfire in cold weather on first startup. Already looking at a stage 1 system from LIPD.

Runs fine when its warm. Also some surging when accelerating. Dealer already told me it was the turbo. Looks like problem after problem but im not too worried. Now that its broke, I can install aftermarket parts.

Oh yes, and I hear that a cracked y Pipe can cause low boost and surging as well? Not too sure. Got some fumes in the cab and ordered a down pipe with egr pipe delete. Just getting little pieces at a time.
