Glow Plug Before & After, Cold Start GM 6.5 Turbo Diesel

Before and after glow plug replacement, cold start of a 6.5 GM Turbo Diesel. Original glowplugs were almost all dead and turned out to be a mishmash or several models installed by previous owner. First part of video is a cold start with my barely functional glowplug system, second part is with 8 new AC Delco 60G glowplugs installed but still utilzing the factory glow cycle, and the last part of the video shows the truck cold starting with a manual glowplug override installed, yielding a long glow plug cycle.

Guess we know why your starter sounded so weak when we met up that day. Heck of a lot of spin time when those glows were shot. The 28MT can't handle that kind of abuse. It's one reason i don't like them over the direct drive 27MT monster starters. They'll spin and spin until the batteries keel over, and not have anywhere near the damage the 28MT would have.

@iamdave0887 Yeah that starter had taken a LOT of abuse since I had it installed in 08..and it was a scrapyard pull then, so it's possible it was well abused already. I can't complain, it served me well, but I certainly did beat the piss out of it for a long time before replacing the GP's.

@Oshawapilot have you since replaced it or it it still hanging onto life?

[Oshawapilot]

@iamdave0887 Replaced it last week. It hung on for a long while after our vacation but was getting slower and slower. Yeah, even slower than it was believe it or not. :) If it wasn't for my 8 new glowplugs it would have never started at the end.

Installing a new set of Delco 60G plugs this weekend before it gets too cold out.... pretty smokey right now

[iamdave0887]

@Oshawapilot engine probably wants to do a flip now i'll bet.
