[quote=Scott'sXJ]Hey all.


Well, I got another new (well... used, actually) toy.
2006 Chevy Duramax 2500 crew cab.


My buddy is being deployed to Kuwait in about a week.
He had to fly to TX for pre-deployment exercises (Read that as Death-By-Powerpoint) last week, and he told me keep the truck so his little brother doesn't drive/wreck it.


Anyone know how to change glow plugs

You shouldn't need them in south Florida.

Good morning fellas
Xjs starter died on my last night AGAIN!
It was soaked in oil, valve cover gasket had been replaced when I first got the xj, but it's still leaking like crazy...
Going to have to grab another and see if that works...

I'll pick it up next pay day, with a new starter with a lifetime warranty...

Anyone planning on Jeep Beach this year? All are welcome at my KOA campsite. You have private bathrooms, showers, electric outlets and water. So it's not entirely primitive.

Good morning. It's drive like Mad Max day. I won't even attempt to stop for any IDIOT on an ATV or dirt bike if you cut me off on the road.

Good morning Lee. I thought that glow plugs were the TDI equivalent of spark plugs for gasoline engines. I really don't know alot about diesel engines.

Glow plugs and heater grids heat the incoming air just for starting purposes. After that, they do nothing.

I sir. They just help in starting in cold weather. Or cold starts. If it is cold a little ether will help but you won't need glow plugs in south Florida. I drove a 7.3 for years up north and none of the glow plugs work. Diesel engines combust off compression. Not a spark device. Hope this helps
