Hey everybody, I’ve been throwing up an idea on these stupid unreliable glow plugs. I have a pretty fresh engine in my 14 ram brand new out of the crate in 2019 due to 3 glow plugs breaking in the head due to the poor material that swells from heat. So yea… installed the new engine. No emissions. Banks intake, ecm reprogrammed, straight pipe from the turbo back. Truck runs great, has good power nothing to brag about. 21000 later the glow plug cylinder 3 goes bad. Wouldn’t you know same stupid problem at 21k. The other engine had 151k figured this to be typical with the amount of crap the egr pushed into my intake on the old engine. I’ve read several reviews on other vehicles with this engine and this seems to be a very serious problem. Why wouldn’t they use the grid setup in the Cummins? Problem solved I would think. Anyway let me reel myself back in to the bad glow plugs on the new engine. The tips swell on them from heat then when you try to back them out they break. We managed to get lucky and the piece broke blew out the port. We put the new one in and went on our merry way. 20k later guess what, another freakin glow plug. So I’m really considering bypassing the connection. Doubt I’ll get luck on the next one. Warranty is out as well
