DURAMAX GLOW PLUG
I have a code for number 4 glow plug. How long can you drive with glow plug code? I do not live in cold weather area. Not sure I understand what glow plug does exactly. Thanks

The only current Cummins automotive diesel engine that I know have glow plugs is the ISV5.0 V8 found in the Nissan and other light medium duty trucks. All of the inline six engines, large or small, us fuel and/or grid heaters. It is easier and more cost effective(for the manufacturer) to put glow plugs on V configured engines.
True. The only other "Cummins" to use a glow plug is some older Onan gen sets and even in that case, it's more of an intake heater.
No big OTR engine'd truck uses glow plugs. Grid heaters are far more simple and reliable.
