Hi I was wondering if anyone had done this? and what all is involved? I'm thinking as I still have my engine out, if all I have to do is change the spade style connectors out. and the GPS, I might as well do it. Thank You in advance. Mudguts

 

be sure that your GPs and their controller are designed to work together, and you'll be fine. if your controller is designed for 6v plugs, it'll have trouble warming up 12v plugs as the plugs won't be getting enough voltage

 

Thanks, I went to a manual switch after my Autolite Experience. lol. i think I will keep the switch and just go with the 12 volt plugs also better safe than sorry. Mudguts.

 

You'll need the glow plug wiring harness from an '87 6.9 or any 7.3 engine.


Junk yard will be your best bet.

 

Thanks I appreciate the info. Mudguts.

 

You can also just keep to manual spade style plug...btw...i find that the ZD-9's are cheaeper than ZD-1s

 

Thank You.

 

Are the ZD9's a 12v plug?

 

I dont know?

 

ZD9 is for the solid state system 87+ so yes, 12V

The ZD1's are the old spade connector 6V ones.

 

Lets get the facts straight ...
