Looks like he needs a magnet and a prayer.

no he only need to take his time and do it right. And read the manual too. I did fine some parts on Rockauto and Amazon so check them out. I have no funes from them so enjoy looking.

 

[chief1983]

I mean retrieving the broken off tips, what's the "right" method there? I wasn't aware there was one aside from major disassembly.

 

[computer54]

Same hear but cleaning and butting it back together is hard if you have not done one before this one.

 

[Tinstar]

Already have new set of AC60Gs
Bought them an hour after seeing the first busted GP.

Now to remove the fuel injector and fish out the tips.
Had to do that when first got truck. Those were Wellmans that busted.
AC60Gs in picture is just over two years old.

I haven’t a clue how long it’s been like that.
Driving it with busted tips inside.
No issues at all and has been doing great until it wouldn’t start last week

O.K. so it looks like a two year GPS that I need to change and it's been sense June 16 for my truck mow I well have to keep an eye on them now.

 

[Tinstar]

After this, I’m changing them out every year regardless.

 

[computer54]

I well be doing it next mouth after I get paid .

Normally from use of ether, but could also be from a bad injector leaking fuel creating hot spots.

When was the last time injectors were done?

New Delphi injectors were installed less than a month ago.
I did not remove Glowplugs when I installed them.
Ether has not been used.

Will be doing Passenger side today.
Along with removing debris and installing new glow plugs.


No telling how long it’s been like that.

 

[computer54]

By the looks of the plugs they have been cooked for some time.

 

[computer54]

Now I have to replace a starter today and that sucker is heavy too. And I'm doing this on my back too.

O’reilly Auto is where I bought mine.
Military discount, coupon and was out the door for $63 for a set of 8.

Didn’t want to wait for Amazon.

I am surprised that you have 60G. I have never used anything but the stock AC Delco 13G. I have had one tip failure in over 20 years. It was at highway speed and it rattled a bit and then just went away. The next morning in August NO cold start. Found the problem. Broken tip just like you shown. But I would say changing them every year is over kill. I have the same ones for 10 plus years. On my Terminus M1009 the glow plugs are 20 years old. I spoke to the PO that I sold it to and he said he never had any troubles with the vehicle at all. Do as you wish but every year is over kill. And it still does not guarantee no failure. That was a fluke that that failed. Good Luck.

Why does the wiki seem to recommend the 60's over the 13's?

 

[Tinstar]

It was the recommended glow plug to install here on SS.
No issues until a week ago and now this.
The two intact ones tested bad.
Hopefully the others are intact.
Over 20v were getting to them. All are toast I’m sure.

Will inspect more often now. Maybe not replace like mentioned.


Had to take wife to a doTERRA event, otherwise I would have finished yesterday.

They are self-regulating and will not swell.

In my case they just break off.........
