Spit out #7 glow plug---what now?

[ghohouston]

Ive seen it happen to my coworkers 7.3, but the tip stayed in, so no compression leak. It pulled out with the uvch and I didnt even notice till I was re installing it.

I had the exact thing happen to my truck last month also. Job 2 '08. Had a glow plug code pop up the day prior. Then the following day the glow plug separated and popped out while I was going about 15 mph. Glad it was an easy and cheap fix.

Thats exactly what happened to me, the truck threw up a glowplug code and ten minutes later I heard a compression leak.

I have a Question my cousins 08 blew a glow plug out today but it also have a cylinder misfire codes on 1 &2 what would cause this?

Harness or the actual plug?

If it's the harness... High crank case pressure caused by a cracked piston. Tell him to save his pennies. It's going to get spendy.

it was the actual glow plug also there was oil on the glow plug. I read on a tread a little bit ago that a bent pushrod or broken lifter could cause oil to get ontop of a piston is this true?
