I just picked up my 83 ram 50 4d55t and I'm wondering how long to hold the glow plug button on cold mornings. The previous owner connected a button for the glow plugs since the timer went bad (I'm guessing).
He installed NGK 11.5 V glow plugs.
I read on this forum not to keep the glow plugs on more then 8 seconds or the NGK's tip will balloon.
How many times, how much rest time in between and how long should I have the glow plugs on at 45 degrees?
I go to work early in morning and would like to not have to crank the engine more then necessary.
Thanks in Advance!
