Yep.
2 months ago i bought a $90 set of 6 glow plugs for my 282. all works great up until now, Today I went to start up my 282, and I held down the glow plugs for 60 seconds, and cranked it over and it almost took off. i heard a few fires while i was cranking it. then i stopped and put two 10 amp battery chargers on. one charger on each battery. and let the glow plugs rest for 4 minutes. i did another 60 seconds of glow plug heating cycle and it ALMOST started. all 5/6 plugs were working too. after 3 minutes of letting plugs cool, i hit the button and no glow plug power. i blew every mother fuc*er out.
Anyways, I'm trying to learn from my mistakes here. do you think it was the to 10 amp battery chargers that did the glow plugs in? or am i holding glow plugs to long? i hold them down for 60 seconds at a time then let them rest 2-4 minutes. how long should glow plugs last?
