Good day.
I am attempting to change out my glow plugs in my 06 kj but am getting so frustrated as I am unable to find them. I know there is a cap ontop that provides power for them but I can not see any object on the engine that looks like a cap covering the glow plug. If anybody has a diagram showing locations or pictures of actual locations from their own install I would much appreciate them. I have the 06 kj manual but I am stumped where to find glow plugs in the darn thing. Thanks.
Peace.

They are under the intake manifold on the drivers' (left) side of the motor. Number 3 is hard to get to as there is a vertical inlet pipe in the way.
Have you read SAMS NOOB Guide?......lots of pictures of components there.
What glow plugs will you be using?
The original plugs for your model are 7 volt ceramics but you will struggle to find them anywhere as they have been replaced with 5 volt ones.
When you put in the 5 volt ones you at the same time have to replace the glow plug controller and have the ECM re-programmed before putting voltage on the plugs. Or you can use the 7 volt metallic ones supplied by an Italian company which has had good reviews.
Do a search on this forum for glow plugs or simply space down and look for the topic.....there recently was a whole explanation of how to replace the plugs with good pictures.
