And yes, the Autolite 1109's need a longer glow time I think. It doesn't always fire right off with the stock controller on cycle #1. So I cycle them again and it always lights off on #2.
If I went to the manual control, i would just hold it a couple seconds longer and I'll bet it would fire off instantly on cycle #1.

I've done a lot of research this week into glow plugs and finally came to the conclusion that the reason so many people with manual switches have such problems (glow plugs swelling, burning out, breaking off in the cylinder, etc) is due to Ford's use of 6-volt glow plugs to get a faster start.
So I looked for some 12-volt glow plugs. The AC Delco 60G's fit the 6.9 just fine, and they're meant for 12 volts. So I'll be putting them on on Saturday.
Say what you will about how good Motorcraft/Beru plugs are, but I just got my truck a few weeks ago with a new set of ZD1As or ZD9's (not sure yet since I haven't pulled them) and they're already burned out. I'm willing to put up with longer glow times in exchange for plugs that don't burn out or swell up.
I'll report back in a few weeks and either tell you guys "you were right" or "you should look at AC Delcos"...

you bought said truck with the previous owner saying they were new motorcraft beru's? Or you know they are berus because you have seen the beru stamp? Just curious. If they already burned out, i bet they all pull out fine and replace the controller, it obviously fried them.

i'll tell you the same thing i told the other guy taking the word of the guy he bought the truck from..... PEOPLE SELLING THINGS LIE..... they want the most money out of what they are selling and will lie lie lie to get it. unless you personally know the guy and watched him put new plugs in it then assume he lied. once the plugs glow they aren't going to look brand new anymore and if they did all burn out within a week then there are only 3 real well maybe 4 options of what could have happened
1. the controller is shot (happened to me when i bought my truck)
2. you got a bad bunch of plugs (unlikely for all 8 to be bad from the store but hey strange things happen) which can happen with any brand
3. you have power supply issues to the relay controller, or coming out of the controller 2 the plugs (mice love wiring, or the old wiring could have insulation rubbed off and grounding out)
4. the guy lied to you and the plugs are just old and worn out. no matter what brand you get its not going to change the fact that glow plugs are a wear item.

OR:
Click the 'Go Advanced' button under the quick reply box, and scroll down under the box you put your words in theres a link that say 'Manage Attatchments'.
Click it and you can upload pictures from your computer.

I can tfind it either, I always just load the pics into my album. I pull up the pic and copy the url(the one that says http on it) then go to insert image and paste the url into the window) i know its a bassakwards way of doing it but the easy way just doesn't suit me i guess.
My way works but its confusing

I think the most likely scenario is (since the guy I bought from doesn't seem all that mechanically inclined) that his mechanic lied to him. But regardless, that's in the past.
1. the controller is shot (happened to me when i bought my truck)
2. you got a bad bunch of plugs (unlikely for all 8 to be bad from the store but hey strange things happen) which can happen with any brand
3. you have power supply issues to the relay controller, or coming out of the controller 2 the plugs (mice love wiring, or the old wiring could have insulation rubbed off and grounding out)

I'll let you guys know how my new plugs go.

Nope, to split up a post like that you basically wrap the [quote ] [/quote ] tags around each section you want to quote, minus the spaces in the tags of course...
When you go to the advanced page theres a button that you can click after highlighting the section you want to quote...
