glow plugs

I have a 97psd and am thinking about changing the glow plugs myself. Is it easy to do and how do u do it?

hardest part of the whole job for me was removing and replacing the bolt closest to the firewall on passenger-side valve cover. rest was easy. extension for your socket to loosen plug and a piece of tubing slipped over the plug to pull it out were good hints i got from others here.

Loosen the aluminum blanket on the heater box on the passenger side firewall. There is a small black box on there with a hose going to it. Remove that box and the rear bolt on the passenger VC is a breeze.

If you can change spark plugs you can do this. The VC gasket is reusable also.

I think I'll pick up some plugs and give it a try. Hey Neal what's your truck making for hp with all your mods, and do they work well together?

Dyno results:

And it works VERY well together. I believe this is an awesome setup. I built it for pulling but haven't hooked to anything too heavy yet. I will in another week though. Very streetable and fun to drive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
