}{unter....As the saying goes....if it ain't broke....don't fix it!
If you begin to notice a big difference in how the engine runs....seems to bogg down while accelerating....then keep the glow plug in mind. If you can easily start the engine after your last time out...with no problems....keep using that plug. When they go bad...you'll know it.
A simple test you can do if you begin to have doubts about your glow plug is to remove the plug....place a fully charged glow igniter on the plug and look at the element as it's glowing. Is it glowing evenly? Can you see "ALL" of the element glowing or is there any part of the coil that is not glowing? If you see a good glow....then use it. If it's not glowing properly.....replace it.
