Got Glow plugs ?
Hey, just a fast-yet-probably-stupid question here...Been treating my SD like a gasser on startup and it fires like my 71 Olds...chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga FIRE... Just like that...maybe off by one chuga but it's like this even in the winter and my glow plug lamp has never, ever been ON. I assume that I am sans glow plugs as the stripper fuse is good and all else seems right...yet I have not yet seen the need to pull the glow plugs to even check as she starts fine for me....my question is ....am I doing Duh-Benz any harm by just blowing off the glow plug issue? Seems to me she starts just fine...and I don't even think the plugs are working. I am thinking she's got great compression so who needs the glow plugs?!?...any thoughts b4 another winter hits?
