My 7.3 has taught my 17 year old self so much already, thanks for the video! Been wanting to order plugs and now I have the courage to install them myself!
Thank you for the video. Very informative. Changed the drivers side last weekend, fingers crossed everything is hooked up and right. Saw your video and decided to do some more diagnostics as I went. It did turn over so fortunately I avoided hydrolocking it. Changing passenger side now. Cheers!
Thank you Charlie Sheen. I watched your video and I feel very confident that I will be able to tackle this job. I have replaced plugs on my 6.0 ford diesel and it was a completely different job.
My Amazon Motorcraft plugs failed too. I bought some new Motorcraft from Rockauto. I haven't swapped them yet but now I wish I would've taken a look at the diesel rx. My fingers are crossed.
I got the glow plugs swapped. Thankfully,that fixed it. A couple were completely dead. A couple others had resistance values that weren't right. Being that I had just replaced them a year ago,it went pretty quick. Thanks for the making these how to's. Very helpful.
Just curious have you ever tested the glow plug pin on outside valve cover, should read 0.6-2ohm? Mine are all in range so means they should be good right? Thank you for the video and love your truck that red interior is awesome!
Hey, thanks for the kind words! I have tested glow plugs through the valve covers before. That's a nice way to test them (and the UVCWH at the same time) without needing to open things up. Thanks for watching!
Yes sir! There are subtle differences between these and some other Motorcraft I had that lead me to believe these are fakes. I'm very happy with the DieselRX plugs I installed, BTW.
No I don't. There isn't really any hing there that requires much torque so as long as you don't go crazy tight on something, you should be just fine! Thanks for watching the channel!
Filmed on a potato and edited with MS paint is what it looks like, right!? 😂 Actually most of the video is shot on my Samsung Galaxy S20 and I use the free version of Lightworks to edit the videos. Cheep, cheep, cheep. YT doesn't pay me much at this point, so it's more of a hobby.
so i’m fairly sure my glow plugs weren’t replaced, despite what the ad said when i bought the truck. it can’t start when it’s 20 degrees out unplugged. should i get those dieselrx plugs or motor craft?
Check the glow plug relay before you replace the plugs, it's a lot easier to replace if it has failed. So far I've been happy with the Diesel Rx glow plugs. They seem to work really well. I think you'd be okay with Motorcraft plugs too as long as you get them from a more reputable source than Amazon. Lesson learned.
@@royjrglenn7435 the glow plug relay is just to the left of the fuel filter bowl with 2 large terminals and 2 small ones on it. Has a square base attached with 2 screws and is usually brown or black.
1994 saw 2 different diesel engines offered in Ford trucks; the 7.3 IDI and the 7.3 Powerstroke (DI). As long as it is the DI (direct injected) Powerstroke engine, these should work for you. These would be a replacement for a Motorcraft ZD11 glow plug.

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for the comprehensive video. You help give me the "courage" to do this job
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

Winning!! 🤣
Do other people tell you that you sound like Charlie?@@diymechanictv1233
I have to do glow plugs on my '99 7.3 soon. Thanks for the in-depth video!
Excellent videos, level of detail very helpful
Thanks. I need to do this to my 7.3. This helps alot.
best video on this so far!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
i’m so glad i found your channel. such a help
I'm glad you found it to be a help! Thanks for watching.
I'll be changing these myself tomorrow! Thanks for the info and suggestions for the Diesel RX plugs! :)
Glad you found it helpful!
Awesome video. Always and always buy motorcraft oem glow plugs...
Thanks. You just saved me from buying Auto lights from Napa.
Don't do it!
Glad you found the video helpful.
Toothless rides again !!nice truck great informative video
Thank you sir! Good trucks, indeed.
Great how to do video, Interesting that motocraft fails like that.
Thank you sir!
Thanks. this was a great video.
Thanks for the video,, I will go with motorcraft one time I'm like OEM guy... and if they fail will try diesel Rx
My Amazon Motorcraft plugs failed too. I bought some new Motorcraft from Rockauto. I haven't swapped them yet but now I wish I would've taken a look at the diesel rx. My fingers are crossed.
Hope they work out for you.

Glad the video was helpful!
Battery voltage is very low and the starter sounds a bit anemic possibly due to the low batteries.....
Excellent video thanks
Thanks for watching!
Those plugs still going? Just bought some Motorcraft plugs. Considering using the Diesel Rx ones now.
Yes indeed! Used the truck to tow our camper out for the holiday weekend this weekend. So far, so good!
A good glow plug resistance should be what?
Around 1.2 ohms.
Great video.
Thank you, sir!
What good deed did you do to deserve to have all 8 come out without any issue or breakage
I must be finding favor with the man upstairs, somehow! Actually, I've never (yet) had one get stuck in the head and I've done quite a few sets.
Thank u for the great vid! I’m about to attempt this on my 96….. is there a torq setting for the glow plugs? Thank you
Google says it's 14 ft/lb, but I just usually make them tight with my 14" ratchet.
Thanks for watching! Good luck with the project.

I see you reuse the gasket I'm guessing it's somewhat new?
Yes. These are considered to be reusable gaskets. I typically don't replace them unless the wiring connections are burned.
So is it just the Motorcraft glow plugs that come from Amazon that suck?
Yes sir! There are subtle differences between these and some other Motorcraft I had that lead me to believe these are fakes. I'm very happy with the DieselRX plugs I installed, BTW.
did you torque anything? if so, let me know. im 16 and will be doing this in a few days
No I don't. There isn't really any hing there that requires much torque so as long as you don't go crazy tight on something, you should be just fine! Thanks for watching the channel!
Thanks a lot for the help I am about to tighten them down now
What camera and editing software are you using for your videos?

@@diymechanictv1233 is the relay for the glow yellow square looking thing with the wire ?
@@royjrglenn7435 the glow plug relay is just to the left of the fuel filter bowl with 2 large terminals and 2 small ones on it. Has a square base attached with 2 screws and is usually brown or black.
Are these glow plugs suitable for a 1994 engine? It has a different arrangement of units
1994 saw 2 different diesel engines offered in Ford trucks; the 7.3 IDI and the 7.3 Powerstroke (DI). As long as it is the DI (direct injected) Powerstroke engine, these should work for you. These would be a replacement for a Motorcraft ZD11 glow plug.
@@diymechanictv1233 probably, i have idi turbo engine,thanks
No torque values....?.?
One grunt with a 1/4 ratchet... 😉

You go to fast and you can't even see what you are doing
Yeah, sorry if I didn't speed the video up, it'd be a hour and a half long!
