Re: Getting ready to replace GPs
Great feedback guys.
Well the Fram filter I used came with the truck so why not. Plus I don't expect to leave it in very long. I'm going to change the oil when the weather turns colder to 10w30 and switch to something else. I'll check out the Motorcraft PSD filter.
The fuel filter is Motorcraft. I'll stick with that when i cahnge it out at the next oil change.
Re. Glow Plugs:
The glow plugs installed are Autolite and I'm very worried that many are burnt out and swollen. I want to do everything possible to minimize risk during the change over to motorcraft.
I've read zigsters write up, here's an excerpt
The really important thing to do is to make sure that you follow the firing order when pulling the glow plugs. For each cylinder you are working on, make sure you have that piston at T.D.C. as you pull the glow plugs.Start at #1 and move the crank 1/4 rev clockwise each time to move to the next cylinder in line. Firing order is 1,2,7,3,4,5,6,8.
So, how do you manually turn the engine? What tools do you use?
thanks
