Glow plugs are easy especially if you remove the passenger inner wheel well, but DO NOT BIY CHEAP PARTS STORE ONES. Please buy either Bosch or AcDelco. Also anti-seize is your friend here. Lots of people love the mechanically pump ones, but 94-95 have aftermarket options for a multi position tuner, 96-2000 not do much.

Your fuel pump is actually a lift pump mounted on the driver side frame rail btw, ran off the oil pressure sensor. Those are a common fail point as the wiring gets corroded and will cause finiky issues.

Also pick up a spare pmd to keep on hand, and if it hasn't been done yet I would relocate the current one off the pump.

isn't the PMD only on the 94+ electronic trucks? not the mechanical 6.5s?
