Gpr 109

Just installed mine and noticed it buzzes and hums when you energize it with the key, then times out...

Anybody else have one that makes noise? I checked all the voltages and it is working correctly.

No problems with mine.

I would call NAPA and see what they say.

I'd skip right to the Stancor personally, but that's me - good luck with it, however you go

Mine makes noise too. The 109 is rated for 130 continuous amps, Stancor is 200 cont. Our glow plugs operate at 197 amps. The 109 is working hard. I think they're good for a back up.

Stancor is the only GPR I'll run from now on. I was burning up stockers every 10 months, after the 5th one I went with the Stancor and haven't changed one since, that was 2 years ago.

My GPR109 has no problems after a year, and I know it's working, noise or no noise. Only takes once forgetting to wait for the WTS light to realize on the 2nd start that it is working.
