ak diesel driver-
Yes, I see the markings. They are 11G. All 4 checked at 1400 plus degrees. Picking up the 8 - 60G's at O'Reileys this afternoon. Once I get these 4 in and button up everything I will go to the other side.
2-8-24 10:30am Got all four out on driver's side- no problem. No signs of any swelling. Calling O'Reilly's to see if they have them in stock. If so- they'll be installed today!
So far so good??

jrsavoie, dbrannon79, and Will L.: I did remove each glow plug wire to check continuity. With those small wires that go on the glow plugs and the controller putting out 12 volts...sure seems I should see more than 10 plus volts on my meter.
Will L.-How did you find the temperature sender...
This information a few of you wanted to know...especially dbrannon79.
Checked continuity on all 8 glow plugs. They all checked good.
Now remember- my first check for voltage at passenger side showed 6Volts about 10 days ago. I did not leave the key on long enough at that time to get a...
This info is for everyone in hopes it helps me. This is a new update.....especially about the glow plugs.
About the glow plugs: I looked up on our Trek motorhome site that I belong to...and there is a man that has the exact motorhome that we have. And he found the ones that came with his Trek...
dbrannon79: I reported back to you about two hours later than your post...something got messed up...but here is what I wrote that you wanted to know-"I have 12.65 volts on the glow plug relay.
The other side of the relay read 00.6. Then after the 8 seconds it jumped to 12.24 volts and on and...
Thanks for your quick reply!
To answer your questions:
I have 12.65 volts on the glow plug relay.
The other side of the relay read 00.6. Then after the 8 seconds it jumped to 12.24 volts and on and off to 12.20 volts.
Thanks!
The strangest thing about my problem and main reason I joined this site was about the 6.5 TD and I can't imagine that nobody (so far) has had a backfire when starting their 6.5TD engine.
Being you are a "Well-Known Member" of this sight...Your last remark was crude and un-called for in...
Hi Fellows! I appreciate all the suggestions you have made. I would like to stop calling it "poof" and call it backfire - like a gas engine. After I turn the key to the on position and wait for the glow plug light to go out... .. I immediately start the engine. It only takes 5 seconds to...
Thanks for your reply! No trouble --- Starts right up! Then you hear one poof out exhaust pipe....engine runs smooth for the next 8 seconds...then one poof comes out on the passenger side seems like where your leg would be sitting in passenger seat. Runs great!
The only time the fuel system...
Thanks guys for all your info....You've really loaded me up with things to read....that's exactly why I joined this truck site with my problem. I'm going to now digest posts and come back to you in a few days. All info is appreciated!
Thanks for the come back! My Chevy Motorhome service guide states the odometer should be approximately 0.5 ohm. Glow plugs are original with only 78,000 miles on them. Also, I checked for codes and there were no codes showing. Yes, I would get the AC Delco 60G glow plugs if needed. I'm a...
Sorry! I made a mistake posting my problem to the introduction....instead of what my problem is....so I have moved my problem post titled - "6.5 TD Poof Problem".
Made a couple mistakes posting my problem .... so I'm re-posting in a proper category.
This is Bezzer with my problem. It has the 6.5TD with the F Engine (does not have the EGR valve). The engine has 79,000 miles on it. This problem started about 2 yrs. ago. At every cold start (like the next...

Hi Fellows! I'm Bezzer I have a 1996 24' Safari Motorhome (bought new) with a 6.5TD engine. As new - Always garaged when not traveling. This is my first visit to this great site.
