GC 1705 glow plugs

[WranglerX]

Have not had issue with 8-10 second preheats on my GC 1715 but then again mild weather here all winter only got down to high 30's a few mornings...

Yes I have, I had to make a tool to get them out of my 6.0 powerstroke. Nightmare.. I video a cold start after I change them.

Youæ±*e plugs are working like they should.

Your fluke test only has meaning if you know how many electrical terminals are on the end of your Glow Plug.

Most have a single terminal and rely on the connection to the block for a ground to complete the circuit.

Some glow plugs do not use the block for a ground and a very careful examination will show two independent electrical terminals on the end of the Glow plug.

These photos will show you how these terminals are arranged.

Applying 12 volts to a GP removed from the engine is a good way to have it blow up in your face. Please treat them as the dangerous part they are.

This happens for two reasons. Normally they are supplied with around 10.5 volts because of the designed in series resistance of the glow plug indicator. Second, they very much rely on the heat transfer into the cylinder head to slow the rate of expansion of the internal resistance powders. Without contact with the head, the rate of temp rise can cause the insulating powers and the metal jacket around them to fail in an explosive type way.

The glow plugs in the ISEKI 3 cylinder in GC 1705 to 1720 series are are grounded in block and use a single busbar (connecting the three) to apply power to center terminal... And power (12 Volts) is applied directly from ignition switch....

Yes, not much to it.

Wow that's a good price for NGK. wonder if they would fit in my GC1705. It's looks to be a different part number.

Just BE SURE to check the length.. the thread size & voltage..
