- Phase 1: pre-heating when the ignition starts.
- Phase 2: Heating during starting to ensure optimal combustion of your fuel.
- Phase 3: Post-heating.
Will a Duramax start without glow plugs?
If a glow plug fails a diesel engine will be hard to start or not start at all. A glow plug is used only to heat the cylinder and start the engine. after the engine starts the heat from the combustion keeps it running.
Where is a glow plug located on a Duramax?
Where are my glow plugs located?
Glow plugs are used in diesel engines to help heat the fuel in preparation for the combustion chamber when the engine is cold. They are powered using all 12 volts available from the battery, and are located on top of the cylinders.
Where is the glow plug module located?
Located on the engine and with a direct connection to the engine control unit, the control module uses a microprocessor to analyse input from the engine control unit to determine information related to the working of the glow plugs.
Where is the number 8 glow plug on Duramax?
The #8 glow plug is on the driver side of the truck and it is cantered towards the bulkhead (firewall). If you are familiar with these trucks, you will recall the engine is tucked neatly under the cowl. So needless to say, this glow plug is NOT in a easy to service location.

Are glow plugs only used for starting?
Glow plugs in model engines differ from those in full-size diesel engines. Full-size engines only use the glow plug for starting. Model engines use a glow plug as an integral part of the ignition system because of the catalytic effect of the platinum wire, on the methanol-base fuel they are designed to run on.
