Yes, I had the recall done many years ago. now the truck just ticked 41000 miles and I am getting p0675. I am looking to replace the plug myself. Any hints? Got my '06 just before the 100k warranty was offered

Your engine alone is covered by a 100k $100 ded warranty. That was the norm from 01-06.

The 100k powertrain warranty applies to the 07+ trucks.

I doubt seriously the dealer will say anything about your mods for a glow plug failure.

I have an '06 with the same code P0675 (Cylinder 5 glow plug circut), also going to replace myself. I have over 100K on it so no more warranty. I'm planning on replacing the plug and checking all connections but I have never done it before.
I'm looking for any hints or suggestions that can help. Thanks.

My gm dealer said glow plugs are not covered under the engine 100k warranty. So I bought one at car quest.

So far I disconnected the metal intake tube right after the turbo down to the air cooler radiator. Disconnected the 2 main plugs for the engine. Then was able to get to the #5 cylinder (I hope they are number like a short block 305) I pulled out the "U" clip and disconnected the one plug that hooks onto the glowplug like a motorcycle's spark plug. Then unhooked the plug that is horizontal.

All fine and dandy right?! Ok now how in the world do you get off that big bolt/harness/plug/etc. "thingy" that screws down around the the glow plug?!

Please, anyone?

I think you need to go to another dealer, I had the same code.
Took it to the dealer, they popped a new glow plug in and I had it back in about 2 hours. Its definitely covered by warranty.

X2, i had my #6cyl glow plug replaced 2 weeks ago. It was covered under the original 100k warranty but cost me $100. They also replaced the glow plug module too under my GMPP extended warranty for free. The GMPP would not cover the glow plug itself as it is considered a wear item like a spark plug. Not bad for $100 though.

I thought glow plugs were considered covered by whatever the emmissions warranty is on the truck? Isn't it like 8 years or 80,000 miles or something?

Ok I have gone to multiple dealerships now and they are saying the glowplugs are like spark plugs and considered wear items. I wish I had some dealerships like you...

Ok, so I am stuck doing this myself. I have the wires and everything disconnected from the glow plug but there is a housing around the glow plug that has an electrical connector on it. The base has something that looks like you can get a wrench on it but the valve cover makes so where a box wrench will not fit. Is there a special tool or a trick to getting it out?

Thanks!

The engine cylinders are NOT numbered like a small block Chevy-- they are numbered like a Ford. Driver side from the front- 2-4-6-8 and passenger side 1-3-5-7.

This is where i got in an argument with my dealer about comparing a glow plug to a spark plug, it is definitly covered by the 100k engine warranty. When my dealer told me it was a wear item i told them the crankshaft,cam and pistons are wear items too so i guess they are not covered either. How about the injection pump? I guess we are boned with that too, that is also a wear item. A glow plug is only used only for start up and even this is intermitten due to ambient temp, a spark plug is used repetatively and is essential in the start-up and overall running condition of the engine. Basically what i am saying is a diesel engine does not require glow plugs to operate but a gas engine will not run without spark plugs.
