Improving Cold Starts
for Electronic 6.5 Diesels

The AC-60G glow plugs are the current GM recommended replacements for all 6.2L and 6.5L diesel engines. However, these plugs are somewhat cooler when compared to the older AC-9G and AC-11G plugs, which can affect cold starting. Extending the initial glow cycle improves cold starts, which can be important when using "cooler" glow plugs or for any situation when longer glow cycles improve starting. This procedure explains how to increase glow cycle time in all 1994 and newer electronically controlled 6.5L diesel equipped vehicles.

Can you still get the 9 or 11 plugs?? I see KD has quick heat plugs... Are they sufficiant for nothern cold starts??

The 11Gs are available thru local parts stores, though probably mostly where they have old inventory.

I'm totally new to Diesels. In fact my 99 Bubr hasen't even arrived yet. When did the newer glow plugs become available? What type would me 99 have in it?

Thanks,

Hey, I needed something to pull the racecar around with and what better than a Suburban Diesel? Only wish I could have found one in black to match the racecar.

Thanks,

Art, you might want to take your Email address off your 'signature'. Lots of spammers use a ******* search bot to find email addresses on web pages.

You will get spammed to death!

Good Morning,
I live in Ottawa, would any auto parts store have
KD quick heat plugs? Would you have the official
part numbers or a more detailed description.
Please email me at david.bogart@corel.com

Go to the advertisers section of the DP. Look for Kennedy Diesel. You can order them online at his website.
