Before I go and order my "green dot" glow plug control module to try and slove my P0670 code I need to test my glow plugs to rule out any bad ones as recommended.

My 04.5 lly truck has the cali. emissions package. which i think makes a diffrence in the way you test them.

I have searched and found how to use a test light and using the glow plug as a ground to test for continuity.

My diesel newbie questions are as follows

1.where are the glow plugs located exactly on the lly?

2.where should I probe the glow plug to test for continuity.

I've had the same code for a few weeks now...can anyone help us out? I don't want to have to wait until winter rolls around to get this done or worse have to go the stealer.

Here is a pic below (the Top rod just below the stocket and extension) of the actual glow plug. (the bottom device is for measuring cylinder pressure)

These pics are courtsey of Nick @ Duramax Tuner. FYI this is on an LB7 but you get the idea of the location and the idea of what they look like.
