going to pull valve covers soon
the main reason i am pulling them is to fix the plug under the cover. what do i need to get to fix this problem. is there any thing else i should do while they are off?

Do the .50 mod while your in there, retorque all your injector hold downs and rockers, check for any chaeffing and also think about replacing your Glow plugs if they have alot of age on them.

The zip ties should work fine if you don't get any leaks, there on the high side of heads which helps.
Is she running better? I hope so.

She is running fine now, gonna put a fuel pump in and take her to the dealer for a scan. Just for piece of mind.

Don't let them sell you any parts or services without checking here first, but I'm sure you know that.
Get a list of the codes before they clear them. I'm not sure how it works but see if they will let you take it for a drive after they clear the codes and then re-scan for the same dime. Would be nice to see what codes come back.
