WOW thats a great write up thanks a ton. Just what i had been looking for. Looking like fri or sat i will be doing it.
Is the valve cover gasket removal nessacary for the gp removal though like he mentioned ? I don't see why it would be, id just hate to remove it and encounter a problem douring removal or install. I don't have a problem removing it just don't want nothing to break lol. FIRST TIMER HERE
and its at 230kmi and i can imagine things are brittle
Other than that, its fairly straight forward and I'm certain it will go fine....... All thanks to y'all and FTE

You don't have to remove the VC gaskets. Use a few finger tight VC bolts to keep them in place while you work on the GPs. Keep track of where the VC bolts with the top studs go back in. You should unplug the UVCH and look at the pins. Make sure the center pin isn't getting burnt. If you are going to do the 50 cent mod you have to pull them apart anyway. There is nothing real complicated, just time consuming.

I just replaced GPR with a Napa store unit. GPR 101 is the part number. They will ask what your working on, just tell them the above number.
Only problem is the mounting holes are 90 degree's off. I just went with 1 bolt instead of the 2.
Couple of weeks and its still nice and tight. $23 for the GPR 101
Get a 12v test light, 1 side in always 12v. The opposite after key is on will be 12v also.
My relay didn't click to switch power over. Bingo, that GPR was my problem. No power 2 the GP's.
Check it out. FWIW I wood change GP's while VC's off it my truck.

I paid like 79.00 for my Napa GPR110 is there a major difference other than price?

Ok I looked at my box. Napa GPR109 is what I bought for my 2000 F250.
Under $25 but the mounting holes are off 90 degrees. Like said above, mount with only 1 bolt.
Checked mine 2day while adding the LED. Nice and Tight.
Not sure of the difference's, sorry
