From memory , there is / was 2 different sets of glow plugs available . 1 set / type have a really LOW Voltage rating (my memory says it was something like 6 or 8 Volts) I have no idea why , but i think it was to make them get hot real quick. The down side was that if you glowed them manually OR ...

It is most likely melted from glowing too long ,quite common with low Volt glow plugs in the Chevs.... do you have a glow plug timer ..

If you are in a warm climate i would run off 7 plugs till you need to do head work

Leave that plug disconected...

shifting as much as you can will help

but before you do it , get it weighed ;
front weight
rear weight

also keep in mind what a standard 60 weighs and compare your 60 ute overall weight
the springs themselves may need leaves removed or even custom springs

Hydro assist aparantly can be had legally. But I have also been told that you get bugger all feel in the steering and it can be slow to react ie shit loads of turning power but at a set speed. IF you get a high performance pump you will have enough flow to compensate for the extra volume required ...

shane , what does it handle like with the rear winch under load
dont winch it to the bump stops just use it as a really short limit strap

thats the only way i can think of testing if it is the rear anti squat causing the problem
