Glow plug replacement on 6.0...How to

Hello all..Is there a good thread on how to change the glow plugs on a 6.0. I changed the relay and that did not solve the problem of cold starts. When i plug it in she starts like the dream machine she is...Any help would be great...

Go to the dealer and get flashed before you change the glow plugs.

There is a flash to help out hard cold starts.Its in the engine section if you want to do them without trying the flash first.https://www.motorcraftservice.com/pu...20/S4OMAIN.HTM

Bismic that is a question that should be posted on top of the 6.0l forum. This is the most finikey motor for oil that I have ever heard of.

These injectors are great I haven't had a hint of stiction since I put them in. The milage with a custom ASE tune gives very untruck like milage. The last tank was mixed 50/50 city highway and hubs locked 19+ mpg. The only tune that will give that kind of milage is that ASE,on most others excluding ultra comp and heavy tow with the same driving gives 17. That is a couple with the injectors alone and a couple more with the ASE.So I am lovin it!
