Glow plug lengths?
I have 2 trucks that need glow plugs.
A 1993 Turbo Diesel and a 1994 Powerstroke.
I ordered glow plugs from 2 diffrent places on Ebay.
I just ordered for a 7.3 not by the year.
I got 2 diffrent lenghth glowplugs.
1 set is 5 inches long and 1 set is 3 inches long?
Does it matter ?
Both sellers had pretty good feedback.

So has anyone ever seen 5 inch long glowplugs?
Does it matter if they are longer ?
The other ones are Champion and are short?
Im thinking using the short ones for the 93 and the long ones for the 94!

I just got a answer from the seller of the long ones and he says they are right for the 94 Powerstroke.

When changing the glow plugs do you remove the valve cover gasket and wiring for more room?
I was going to do that and I unclipped one wire going to the injector and it didnt pull right out so I quit pulling?
It felt almost like it was spring loaded?
But it would sure be easier if that wasnt there?

No need to remove anything other than the valve cover and unplug the glow plug connector. Use a 10mm deep socket to loosen the GP then use a hose to spin them off, or if you have small fingers use them instead.

I just spent 20 minuters getting the last one on.
