Hi guys. I have owned a 2016 limited for a few years and love it. I recently found a 2015 with 220k kms at a wholesale dealer. I bought it knowing the #5 glowplug was bad. I just went to replace it and found that just spins freely. Obviously someone tried to replace it and broke it. Wiring plug wasnt even pushed back on. Is it safe to drive like this until I purchase a removal kit? Thanks for any advice!

I drove mine with a stripped plug for around 500 miles hoping it would shoot itself out and it never did. But there’s always a possibility for it. Plug it back up and hopefully the truck regens as it should

Ok thanks. Ordered the drill out kit but likely wont have time to tackle it for awhile.

Should be passenger side center. There’s a diagram somewhere on here in regards to cylinder orientation

The diagram that’s circulating is correct because I utilized it when doing my glowplug #3 and 4. I do stand corrected based off the diagram. Looks like center on drivers side
