One or two glow plugs will quit,.and i have to redo plugs on the ends of the wires,.and or change out glow plug(s)

This old truck is so wore out steering wise it's not funny,.

There isn't a bushing or a knuckle that hasn't got play in it,. including the steering box,.

Is there a place to buy a 'kit' for these trucks?

Mine is the 8600lb 4x4,.

Are you replacing all the glow plugs at once? Or just the ones that burn out? My experience is that if one or two are going, the rest are on their way, and I replace the full set. Also, what are you replacing them with? The AC Delco 60G or Kennedy QuickHeats seem to be the two recommended.

As for steering, just a matter of going through and replacing everything. I picked up a combination of Moog and Energy Suspension parts from Summit and RockAuto to rebuild my ’94 - ES Control Arm and Sway Bar bushing sets, Moog Pitman and Idler Arms, Moog Tie Rod Ends, Moog Ball Joints, and Moog Caster/Camber Bolt Kit. I knew things were worn, but the difference was still pretty incredible.
