Thanks for posting videos. My 85 Subrn has 3 bad glow plugs. Tried to them but did not want to remove heads if/when the tips broke. Didn't know you could remove broken tips thru injector port. Now I have another future project. Looks like you have plenty of battery power !!!
Basically what you're saying is to remove the injector, to retrieve the busted off glo-plug end. By the way, the fuel lines are actually return lines. (Nice truck)
FYI, I recently discovered that they make a special tool just for this glow plug issue. It pulls them out without damaging the threads. If they do break off you can revert back to the injector removal method. I found mine at leroysdiesel.com. It works great. Also, if they do break off they don't actually fall into the cylinder. I have an 85 CUCV so I love the videos.
So the broken wolfram part from the glow plug was laying in the camber? Did it make a lot of noise.? How did you know it was that glow plug, did you measure the resistance..... You are lucky it did t eat it.
The best tool I had was small needle nose pliers from Harbor Freight for $1. Carefully grabbing the broke tip from inside and pulling it into the pre-chamber and out of the injector hole while not dropping into the cylinder. I wonder if a magnet would work? I don't remember trying.
@@jacklope1sounds intense 🔥🔥🔥💥💥so if it falls off your pliers then are your phucked.im sure many would love to know please and liken your found videos cool.✌️
Military trader has a chart that seems pretty accurate. It all depends on what condition the truck is in. The prices can vary widely. Since my truck didn't really run and wasn't street legal when I got it, I think I paid a good price according to this chart. Condition code Value (dollars) 6 900 5 2,700 4 3,700 3 5,200 2 7,500 1 9,750
