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

Pretty easy diy project, but understand using dealer or mechanic service, too.
Dealer will probably want you to change out all 8, but it is not a requirement to do them as a set.
I find a warm engine makes job a little easier. Definitely spray penetrant oil on threads before removal especially if you live in the rust/snow belt. It takes longer to remove inner fender for access than the actual r&r of a single glow plug. Make sure the new glow plug has high temp anti seize on threads before install to ensure reasonable removal the next time it is done.
