All are capable of work or play, even those models with luxurious interiors, and all have four doors.

Default f-250 glow plug
My dad has a 93 F-150 diesel. The glow plugs are shot and we were thinking about changin them ourselves since the last truck he had cost like 600 to get all the plugs changed. Does anyone know how hard it is to change them, or if its even worth our time to try it ourselves. Just trying to save a few bucks.

Hey, My work van is a 2000 e- 350 powerstroke diesel v8. i just had mine re-done and the mechanic said i shouldnt tinker with it because you could wind up doing more harm than good. i would just pay to get it done and be safe.

It's very similar to spark plugs, it should be fairly simple to do, don't waste money unless your really unsure of how to do it.
