My Stancor came in today. If you read Guzzle's write-up he does say that it's HUGE, but I didn't quite realize how huge it actually is. It weights probably 3 pounds or so and here are a few pictures.

Comparison with the soda can.


Sitting in my hand.


I think I have a serious problem and might need to join PowerStroke Addicts Anonymous.

 

Did you order it from Mouser? I guess that means they're back in stock now? I need to get one of these for my wife's truck. She's been using her AIH relay since last winter when the GPR decided it was done.

Comparing it to the soda can was a good idea. Thanks for the pics.

 

Yes I ordered it through Mouser. I still can't get over how absolutely massive it is.

 

They are big It will light them glow plugs up. Its a little tuff getting both nuts on there to hold it down but you can. Using 1 would work.

 

That thing is big. Take a pic once you get it on.

 

Wow, that is big.

 

Do you have a PN?

I will be ordering one shortly.

 

Wow, that is huge, pics are always good. Like Chris said, interested how it looks all hooked up...

 

When my GPR goes out, this is the one i am going with. may still order one just to have it handy

 

I'm going on your name here when I say this. I believe Excursions use a different part to actuate the glow plugs. I believe they, like the Cali trucks, use a Glowplug Control Module rather than a Glowplug Relay which is what the Stancor is.

Just for the heck of it here's a link to Guzzle's install write-up. You can click the link there and order it through Mouser. That's what I did.

Part from mouser. 802-586-902
Ordered mine through that clicky from Guzzles also. Got it right quick.



I said the same thing. WOW.. That can't be right. That thing is huge.

Stock to Stancor comparison.


Installed in 10 minutes. I did fight with the stock nuts a little bit mounting it. But it eventually goes on.

I went to install my Stancor today, but stupid me wasn't paying attention to which unit it was that I was supposed to be replacing. I took out the unit that is in front of the GPR and hooked the wires to it. I wasn't paying attention and assumed that was what I wanted since it was where the GPR LED's wires went. Then I looked at it and realized it was the wrong one to replace.

But stupid me had stripped the threads on the stancor. So I had to cut the old wire off and get another nut to jam on top of the old one because I couldn't get it off. Then I went to reinstall the part I shouldn't have removed. Except stupid me torqued down the nut on one of the studs too hard and shattered the casing on that.

So now instead of just replacing the GPR I have to replace both units there.

Only problem is I don't know what the heck it is that I broke? Can someone help me out here?

 

its the relay for the AIH..you dont need it.....

 

lol! dude that sucks! sounds like me and you should never work on a vehicle together seeing as i have the same stupid luck! toss up a pic of what you broke.....

ah nevermind the pic. ^^he's right its the AIH relay. put your old gpr in its place and youll be good to go....

 

AIH relay (air intake heater)

Alot of folks just delete it anyway.(heater unit as well)
Riffraff has a nice delete plug (with boost port)

No harm,no foul.
