It was not too messy as there was little oil there. I used compressed air to blow the oil away. Be gentle, the plastic wire ties can easily break.ġ1) Remove any oil from where the glow plug seats so it does not run into the cylinder. I used needle nose pliers to pull the electrical connection. I reused the harness.ġ0) Pull the electrical connection off the top of the glow plug. In my case, the harness and all electrical connections were fine. I did without issue.ĩ) Pull the glow plug electrical connector located at the top center of the cylinder head off if you are replacing the gasket or would like to check its condition. Be careful not to disturb the o-ring and the gasket it seats into and you can likely reuse the o-ring and gasket. Be cognizant that the bracket which the air intake bracket and electrical plug connect to is attached by two valve cover bolt studs.Ĩ) Remove the valve cover. I think this job would be impossible without one. It is essential to have a 1/4" shallow well 13mm universal socket. Don't lose them.ħ) Remove the 10 valve cover bolts. Note that there are two o-ring type gaskets under the breather. There are two phillips screws that need to be removed. The green waste gate control tube also needs pulled out of the air intake tube.Ħ) Remove the breather from the top of the driver's side valve cover. The air intake tube has to be pulled UP and away from the turbo. Be careful because the intake tube is attached to the breather housing by a small hose. The whole assembly can then be pulled up and away. Remove the two bolts at the bracket and loosen the hose clamp at the turbo charger. This is done by loosening the bolt on the side of the plug and then pulling the plug apart.ĥ) Remove air intake tube and bracket. Loosen the t-bolt clamps on both ends of the pipe and work the pipe out of the engine compartment.Ĥ) Disconnect the large electrical plug above the driver's side valve cover. Then just pull the whole assembly away.ģ) Remove driver's side charge air cooler (CAC) pipe. A 5/16" nut driver works great for the hose clamps. Unclip the housing top and loosen the hose clamp on the air filter tube at the air intake tube bracket. Very importantĢ) Disconnect air the cleaner outlet tubing and filter housing top. The image below is for component identification (what I am calling various components).ġ) Disconnect both battery cables on both batteries.

I would not look at going cheap on the glow plugs because this job is a bit of a pain. I've heard good things about the Motorcraft glow plugs. Keep in mind I was taking notes and pictures for this tutorial. How long does it take to do this job? I did it a couple months ago, but I think it took me three or four hours. If you do it yourself it will cost about $100.00. What does it cost to have the glow plugs replaced? I'm not sure, but I've heard it costs over $1,000.00. Before beginning this project, thoroughly read all you can about doing this project from whatever sources are available to you. Remember though, that I am not a mechanic, this is just how I did it. This isn't a particularly hard job but it is rather tedious. I believe the procedure is the same for model years 1999-2004.
