woah!
settle down, have you got the service manual for the truck yet?
those ‘glow plugs” with the line comming from them are the injectors!
Can i suggest you get someone who is an experianced diesel mechanic to come and show you whaty to do and how to do it. It may cost you some money in the beginning, but it will save you over time and it will save a question here in 3 days like “I’ve broken the fuel line how do I remove it fully” or “I’ve replaced my injectors and when the truck runs diesel sprays everywhere under the hood!”
I agree with Dick. Diesel engines are a whole other animal. Get someone that either has a lot of experience with diesel engines or an actual diesel mechanic to show you. Most farmers have a lot of knowledge as well.
Fuel filter is a diy project…just unscrew the lid, pull the old one out and pop another one in. Use some diesel to wet the new gasket and follow the directions. Glow plugs…I’d let a mechanic do that.
