Something to Think About

[hpprose]

So, as you guys are diving into your valve covers and working on your engines, it might be a good time to consider changing out your glow plugs. It is way easier to change them when you are already in there, than at 6 am in 10 degree weather just before work.

Just an FYI, BorgWarner Turbo and Emissions Systems just released a new glow plug that gets hotter faster and should last longer. Below is their release on it and a link to their site for info.

It Is Getting Hot In Here
BorgWarner Turbo & Emission Systems Releases Glow Plugs
with a Monstrous Technological stride

BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems releases their newest technological advancement; glow plugs. Continuing to strive for cleaner and better emissions, BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems has come out with new technology that enables a diesel engine to start faster and come up to operating temperature quicker, thus reducing the emissions by 40%.

The new Glow Plugs feature two coil technology, which helps reduce the load draw on the electrical system, and high-tech welding for durability. To ensure quality, the Magnesium Oxide power that is used inside of the plugs is tightly packed, which helps prevent ballooning and failures commonly associated with other plug designs. In addition to the power being packed tightly, the heating coils are precisely placed on the connector pin and the contact points are placed in an exact position. After final assembly, every glow plug goes through brutal testing to ensure 100% functionality and quality.

BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems’ Glow Plugs offer faster start up, no smoke, less shuddering, a gentle engine start and smoother engine performance. For more information on these glow plugs, find the nearest dealer or an application guild visit Yeah, it's like that. BorgWarner-Glow Plugs .

Wonder what these Premium BW glowplugs run $$$ wise?

one thing that makes me cautious, their troubleshooting section warns against afterglow..
I dunno about 6.Slows, but 7.3's are an afterglow system.. Ford does it for smoke control..

How much smoke are you talking? I get just a small puff. Is that something that I should worry about? Truck has 145,580 on it.

I'm guna say: A Good puff... maybe, at times. Seems to be temp related, the cooler the temp, the Gooder the Puff. I aint worried about it cuz as soon as blows a puff, it clears right up and no puffs for the rest of the starts during that day.

No oil consumption or make'n oil. EGTs, Boost, Oil press, Fuel press, power.. All Good.

I'm still on the original GPs, and surprised they've lasted this long !! It's simply Time for GPs.. guna try and make it back to Caly, but if I start have'n starting probs.. I'll R&R'm.
