plug problems

Have two trucks that were running great then both started blowing glow plugs like crazy. Tried a few different brands, none of them lasted more then 5 minutes. Please help.

Ok..It sounds like you are too lean ..you need to richen up a tad..That should take care of your problem..

I agree with slawhammer. I had this problem before and I was lean. Are both trucks tuned for summer? It's still cool out and I had to richen it up to get the tune right since the last time I ran my Revo's were last summer. Sorry, just saw that you said they were both running fine then... all of a sudden....
