That job in Phoenix last month showed me how bad glow plug issues can get in the heat

Had a 2015 Cummins come in with a hard start when it was 110 out, and after chasing it for two days found three bad glow plugs that were swollen and stuck. The heat down there actually makes them fail faster because they never cycle off the same way. Anyone else seen more plug failures in desert climates?

That Vegas guy's 30k miles is wild, I read somewhere the heat warps the tips faster.

Had a guy in Vegas tell me his glow plugs lasted maybe 30k miles down there (crazy, right?).
