The ol' Tahoe is down for the count - coolant in cylinder(s)

[arveetek]

The Ol' Tahoe has 11K miles now since the rebuild was completed back on New Year's Eve. I've had zero problems with the engine or transmission, except for one small minor issue: I've noticed the past few weeks that on cold mornings the engine would miss just a little and blow a little more smoke for a few seconds at cold start. I could tell one cylinder wasn't firing right away.

While changing the oil today and checking things over, I discovered the problem: one of the glow plugs had a broken wire. The terminal had broken off the end of the wire. Naturally, it was one of the most difficult to access: number 6 right behind the down pipe. Thankfully I was able to wiggle the heat shield out of the way without too much problem and get to the glow plug.

Here is the wire as I found it just laying on the frame:







I was able to put a new terminal on the end of the wire, and all is good!
