Glow Plug Relay

Hey Folks,

Before I get all sort of hate replys to search the site, I have, and found what I really need. The Stancor GPR from Mouser...however I need to replace mine today.

I have to take my truck for work this weekend (I don't usually drive my good truck around for work) and it's in need of some work especially a glow plug relay. I'd love to wait for a good one but need to pick one up locally. Does anyone know of a good place to get a decent relay? Last time I got one at Napa. It lasted a fair amount of time which was expected but instead of planning ahead i'm stuck doing this today.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

On a side note, are starter relays and GPR's the same? I know they are essentially the same but can they handle the same amount of current?

Thanks,

Hey man. In all the stupid questions I've posted up here Ive not had one time with a hate reply! Not how we roll in the OBS area.

Stancor is a good relay. If you check out the hard start/white smoke/GPR thread you will find a listing of different Glow Plug Relays near the top.

Or you can "control F" for "GPR" in the Part number thread:

From what I recall there have been complaints about the parts stores GPR. Stancor and OEM i believe are recommended here.

As for the question about relays differ for starter/GPR. I would imagine they are similar, but I do not know specific numbers each can handle. So im going to just leave that up to someone else...

Others will chime in soon.

Starter relay uses the frame as a ground and GPR does not, so no they are not compatible. Also GPR is designed for much higher current than the starter relay.
