#10 of 13 glow plug problem by ernstck Jan 11, 2009 (10:08 am)
Has anyone else had glow plugs malfunction / become unremoveable causing cylinder head to need replacement? I have a 2003 Freightliner Sprinter with this problem-$6500 bill and not under warranty, according to Chrysler. Replies to this message: lindeneng1 (Feb 18, 2009 3:24 am)

Replying to: ernstck (Jan 11, 2009 10:08 am) ernstck I have had glow plugs swell in diesel cylinder heads making them impossible to remove or sheering off during removal and leaving the heat portion frozen in the port. In all cases I have been able to remove them and the remaining debris without replacing the head; although in many instances I have had to do bench work on the head to clean it and make it serviceable again. I am interested to know what has rendered the damage to the extent that the estimate is $6500--CURIOUS Dennis

Replying to: jgureemka (Jun 15, 2007 9:56 am) Read your owners manual, look for the operating range. The 4th quarter is normal. Mine runs there all summer. I ran it at the top of the 4th quarter just below the red in Death Valley, outside temp 135. Don't worry. Patrick
