Glow plug still in warranty

I'm very happy today as I had a glow plug go bad on my 2012 Duramax. Monday got AutoZone to scan, bad GP, bought one there, was going to tackle.
Talikung to friend later he says, that's part of the emissions stuff so should be covered, so call dealer Tuesday morn. Yep, warranty & be their at 1:00pm .Arrive on time & 2 hours later I'm driving home. Good day tater.

    Rod that goes into each cyl to pre heat before starting . In cold weather your turn key on & wait for light to go out then crank. My '03 also had a block heater but I can't find the plug if this one has it, but it just doesn't get that cold here but maybe 1 or 2 days a year. My Kubota tractor has glow plugs too

    I hope you are being facetious. If not, ask that lady at Cummins to tell you how the glow plugs in the ISV 5.0L work.
