Just looking for any members in Central Florida that might be able to recommend a shop to change out stuck and broken glow plugs in a 6.2 Detroit Diesel?

Not many shops are willing to work on Humvees :(

There is a small shop in Mims on US 1 by 46 that only works on diesels and mostly older ones. It’s called Heart of Dixie transmission and diesel repair. They might work on them.

Just got back from three shops and they all wanted to remove both heads and send them off to a machine shop to have the two butchered glow plugs removed. One said he would not be interested to R&R the heads, and another said they were too busy to tackle head removal. Diesel Truck Shop & Repair / Inland Truck Repair, Inc. was willing to tackle the head removal and repair but they said they would only do it flat rate at $145/hour as they are not sure what else they will run into. No limit.

I have been advised by forum experts to let it run on 6 glow plugs in Florida It runs great, and starts fine here in the Florida Inferno. I am afraid if I try anything more myself, it might not run at all!
