Is this the right glow plug part #?

FYI - in for about my 6th (or 7th ?) glow plug and the dealership managed to break off a glow plug
so the only way to pull it out - is to pull the head - they're now waiting for a head gasket kit
(they said they had to get it from Detroit - well Detroit has to get it from Italy first)

although I'm at 70K miles and I told them while they're at it to change the timing belt
Well - at least I'm helping train CRD mechanics -
(this dealership also sells Cummins -so they have experience with them - not so much on the Jeep)

They should all be 7V "low-voltage" glow plugs, whether it be metallic or ceramic. If you look on the front of the engine cover, you might see a yellow sticker that says "Warning, etc. etc. 7V Ceramic Glow Plugs". That's the sure fire giveaway.

To be certain, I would just get the glow plugs from the dealer based on your vin which will show if it ever got updated to the latest and greatest which is ceramic. This would've also coincided with a TSB/calibration change too for the change in glow plugs.

MrMopar64,

I checked with the dealer and they only have one part number listed for the plug. It was the 5142577AA number listed earlier. The person I talked to said they could not look the glow plug up by a VIN. And my CRD does have the sticker that says 7V Ceramic Glow Plugs.

That should be the correct one. The old one isn't compatible anymore so I think the pn was dropped. Good luck!
