Well, here's the story. I bought my M1008 a week or two ago and noticed from the very start that it was hard to start but ran like a bat out of **** after the initial hard start. During initial inspection I noticed 2 glow plug connectors had worked themselves off glow plugs, one on each bank. I reconnected thinking this might have been the hard start problem. Nope. So I pulled my glow plugs today to inspect. 6 were dead. 2 looked ok and would heat up when supplied 12V. 6 of my Wellman 070's were slightly swollen and seemed to have burst at the tips. I have heard on this forum that the resistor bank is load sensitive and that if glow plugs are disconnected it may supply more voltage to the remaining glow plugs. Anyone know the validity of this? Anyways here are some pics of my swollen no-swell Wellmans.
