Goldfly727 02-21-2008, 05:26 PM was wondering if anyone had any idea how long the glow plugs should last, because today the truck gave me a P0380 code. Not sure if it is just because it has been so cold out at night and the other day it was -30 with -50 wind chills that killed the plugs or what...other thing i noticed is that the light didnt come on until today when it was 15 above and the truck was warm...

That's kind of how I was thinking...warmer climate equals less load on the glow plugs? jake8881 02-22-2008, 11:33 AM i replaced mine at 90k ohm tested and 5 out of 8 were bad i did them so they would come out and even at 90k i had to heat a few of them up to get them out very easy change just like spark plugs $80.00 at the dealer for parts if you are in a salt belt like I am with winter snow I reccomend changing them be carefull you break one off you have to pull the head off :rolleyes: Tolliwacker 02-22-2008, 02:10 PM You don't even need glow plugs down there!
