Glow controler

Hi folks. For those that read a lot of posts, I've been here a few times with problems on my glow plug system. After replacing the glow plug 3 times and the relay once, I have finally unhooked the controller and installed a manual push button switch on the dash. I would like to replace the controller when my wallet is a flush. Why? Personal preference, and if I ever let my wife or employees use the truck I don't want the plugs burned out again. So, who makes the best replacement glow plug controller.

Never tried to get one anywhere but Ford or International.

Not sure if you can get it at regular parts houses or not.

Be aware there are two different glow plug systems.
83 thru 86 was the old style system.
87 thru 94 was the new style system.

The parts are not interchangable without rewiring the glow plug system.
