    Why do you need to change them... are they bad? And how many miles on it?

    olered, with the engine "stone cold," disconnect battery, remove valve cover, disconnect glow plug connector, remove glow plug with a 10 mm deep socket, install new glow plug (torque to 13 ft.-lbs.), and reattach connector. After finishing the remaining 3 glow plugs on that bank, clean valve cover, install new gasket, and reinstall valve cover. Do the same thing for the other bank of glow plugs and reconnect battery. Not a difficult job--should take several hours.

    Yes, they are not that hard to change. Did you test them? There has been a problem with glow plug controllers.
