My vote is for international or Ford OEM ...heat shrink and solder everything and be mindful of the clip Vibe associated with the early harnesses

I thought Felpro made these parts but I could only find the gasket.
I am converting to SD parts because the GP pins are larger and they won't burn up every six months to a year like my OBS wiring does.
My one and only experience with dorman UVCH was an epic fail. I bought what I thought was felpro, and you could see the differences in quality with the naked eye.

The SD does use larger GP pins, so it would be an upgrade to get away from burnt harnesses, but I have had to replace burnt SD harnesses before along with repair connectors that weren't tight enough to get a proper connection under the valve cover.
So far, I haven't had to replace any burnt UVCH's on my truck. Not sure if it's because of good new glow plugs or what, but they've yet to fail me. Now as soon as I say that, I'm sure I'll be replacing them before long. LOL
