    replacing glowplugs, need instructions/warnings

    I am looking at replacing the glow-plus in my '03 6.0L to solve a hard starting problem and was wondering if anyone had done this and /or there are any instructions/tips out there for me to use. I have searched around a bit but have found nothing too usefull other that a tool needed to pull the plugwires off the glow-plugs as to not break them. Any and all help is welcome... Thanks...
    My rig:

    2003 F350 CC, AT, Lariat LB, Dually , '03 turbo with loud whistle , K and N Intake filter kit, AFE 4inch turbo back with CAT delete and flow through muffler, 4 to 5 inch chrome tip slant cut, Hypertech performance chip, Quadzilla digital monitor, Stock Fuel Tanks. White Ext with gold stripe , beige leather Int , Alcoa 19.5 Rims Factory Center Caps , push bar with four 55watt lights, 5th.Wheel hitch 16k, soft foldable bed cover, upgrades stereo with Sirius and Aux in.

    My trailer

    ses light on? hard start on a 6.0l can be a number of things. In ca. you can have half the glow plugs out and it will start.scan the computer and see if you have any stored codes before you spend any money.
