2018 RAM 1500 ecodieseal glow plugs

[Jeff Liu]

Replaced all 6 glow plugs in December 2024. The truck had about 139000 miles. I broke 2 glow plugs, used thread inserts to fix this issue. Used antiseize when installing new plugs. The engine operating temperature is about 110C or below. My antiseize can be used at max 300C.

I had engine light on. I noticed one of the old glow plugs tip had some carbon deposits. I had also catalytic converter low efficiency issue suggested by code reader. However, it has not been come back since I replaced the glow plugs.

I also replaced DEF tank due to bad sensor. I bought the tank from MyMoparParts at $2000. Installed myself.

Hopefully these can help other owners.

Replaced transmission fluid and pan when the truck had 139000 miles. Used Valvoline ATF +4. Used reusable aluminum pan. The drain plug on the pan was tapped with Teflon tape 3 times to prevent leak. No issue so far.
