How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

[nycxjeremyy]

It’s not regular wire. It is fuseable link.
If you can shorten it up & crimp on a new end, do that. Otherwise you’ll be spending more money than was in the game plan.

Cable ties to hold them out of the way incase they do pop off, and the heat sheilds are the way to go.

Ill try that

Where could I possibly find a similar link/cable though, should that not work? I assume autozone?

That does not look like a glow plug wire. It wouldn't have 2 wires and that double spade connector. My guess is it's a ground connection that broke off somewhere in the vicinity.

Key on, enjun running, check it for power.
If there is no power to them then it most likely is for sure a ground.

I couldn't tell in your video, but if it's that what looks like a rusty sensor next to the GP. that is your coolant temp sensor for the gauge. is that still working?

The coolant sensor isn't there actually, its on the driver side of the radiator, it's a small wire with a fitting that I never could figure out how to put in the new radiator, so it just sits there.

Ill look more in there when I can

If that's the #8 gp, it should be fairly easy to get at with the inner fender removed. just be careful removing the GP from the head if it's been in there any length of time. unthread and pull straight out, don't bend or twist if it gets into a bind. last thing you want is a broken gp tip in the cylinder.

go back with the delco 60g's bosch are known for the connector tabs breaking off from what I've read online, and delco 60g's are the only ones that won't destroy your engine upon failure.

Only buy the ACDELCO 60G glove plugs from a known vendor.

I have a friend that cussed 60G glow plugs - I really believe he got some counterfeit.

I used to buy them at Autozone.

I don't know who sells ACDELCO 60G glow plugs now

Do a continuity test back to the glow plug controller.

I think somebody, maybe @Glagulator posted the type of wire and connector needed not terribly long ago.
I'm old, so that means in the last 4 years.

There are good glow plug wire kits to be bought
Depends on your budget and if you want to go to the extra work

I always thought the wires going to each GP were standard wires with a high temp insulation and the fuse link was at teh GP controller where all 4 wires joined together into one about 6" from the GP controller. there are two of them with 4 wires each, one for each side of the engine.
