    I really dont think you can fit an RC glow plug into any of the Tacoma engines......But......I havent tried...:notsure: Im guessing it would "fit", but may cause some serious piston damage....

    R/C glow plugs would never be able to fit into a Tacoma engine, nor would they be able to run the engine.

    They are about the size of a nickel, and the diameter is very small. Trust me guys, I worked in a hobby shop for almost five years, and owned an online hobby shop.

    ..... Wow. I say one thing about something other than Tacomas and yall get all over me about it!

    I used the glow plugs as an example because I thought it was the "safest" way to explain. Guess not.

    I swear I sometimes think TW is becoming another Toyota Nation.

    Just did my 60k plug change after 30k miles, my plugs were at .048, put them in at .042
    Truck ran fine before I changed them but I was surprised how much smoother the engine feels.
    If you don't want to change them you should at least re-gap them, but since you would be pulling them out to do that... change them!! lol
    Usually when the gap gets to big, it will run crappy when cold and can cause a misfire condition, but then run fine when the engine heats up.
