6.0 glow plug #2

SaNnDnSurF · Nov 12, 2013

2005 model has been throwing code for glow plug #2 and runs a tad rough for a second in the morning, can someone point me towards how to check with an ohm meter first or should I just go ahead and replace it. I heard a bad glow plug module could also be the culprit?Thanks in advance fellas.

Glow plugs, GP harness, GPR

^....lol, ok

basically Unplug the harness, set your meter on ohms, go over all 4 prongs, if one is way off, replace it. If they all measure out, replace GPCM

Well I was referring to either the GP is junk of the harness is junk, it's one or the other!?

.5-2ohms is considered a good plug

Thanks, where do I unplug the harness at to test?

No, this isnt 7.3 tech here.

These actually take dio to fix the issue... Its not a cheap $30 relay, its either a $170 module, glow plug, or $50 harness. Just saying toss a 'glowplugs, GP harness, and GPR' in isnt going to work in this case.

Sorry, my bad, even tho I use to sell each of those things every god damn day when I was a ford dealer on here, and I ment GPCM, I am on a pos IPad! My bad, guess I don't know ****!

Don't you have a camo interior to be working on?

Actually I do but it's like 20 degrees outside? Why you hating?

All 4 were 1.5, my mechanic says he has a module I can try, sound right?

I had to test mine last year with a VDC amp meter. This is the best way. All 8 of mine went bad. I'd recommend replacing all 8. if you do it yourself I would invest in the harnesses too. The hardest part of replacing them was removing the fender wells to get to them.

Yeah it's a lot easier to just do all 8 and a new harness while you are in there . I had to find out the hard way the harness is not meant to be reused .
