Does anyone know where i could find one of the round terminal ends for the glow plugs? On these cold mornings i tend to fire up on 7 cylinders. I removed all my glow plugs to check them and realized they were all new beru's. I noticed that somebody had replaced one of the terminal ends with a cheap blue sleeved female electrical round connector. When this thing heats up it begins to lose contact strength on the glow plug. I really dont want to buy a complete new harness. Are there repair ends for this problem?

Thanks Vinnie

The 7.3 is finally 100%. New injection pump, New injectors, New glow plugs, replaced coolant sensor for pump advance and idle solenoid. Set injection pump timing from 5 degree's to 8 degree's and turned pump up 2 flats clockwise. Now after glowing on a cold morning it fires up with a quick rap and idles down after 5-10 minutes. Just a little smoke on hard accel and a smooth idle. Im beginning to like this truck again. Cant wait to start towing with it.. Thanks for everyones help!

Isn't it amazing? When you put all new fuel and starting systems on the engines, they behave like a new engine. Whodathunkit!
