DieselRx glowplugs
I see that rosewood is selling DieselRx glowplugs. Has anyone tried them?
I wonder how they do over time or if they get stuck when you try to pull them out?

You certainly cannot go wrong with Motorcraft.
Personally, when my truck was 5 years old I had 2 Motorcraft stuck in the heads and I had to pull the heads to get them out.
So I don't put as much faith in them as many other people do.
But they are as good of quality as you'll find and I personally think the DRX and Bosch are right up there, too.
I sell probably 50 - 60 sets of PSD DRX plugs a year and have only had an issue with the IDI plugs, that run on 5 volts.

I' got a set of GP's for my 2.5TDI Audi A4, not DRX, but a good aftermarket, something in german I can't spell for you, and It seemed like in the deep colder weather, cranking time was lowered, and GP cycle was faster, more heat, and maybe only took one or 2 cycles to turn over in the -30C weather( in Germany).
If you get them, let us know your results, after all this base stupid stuff I keep getting gigged on, I can start the Engine Overhaul part of my project.

Check this out- It compares them to Beru's and NGK's. Now heres the thing...they state in the video that the reason DRx Gp's are better is because the heat is concentrated at the tip of the GP. To me, that says it all when the issue we face is the tips of the gp's swelling and becoming lodged in there. Repeated heating and cooling of just the tip (or HOTTER at the tip) would seem to encourage this happening, am i wrong?

I'm not too certain on the theory behind the plugs, but I would guess Jim could chime in here on that. If says they are good to go then I wouldn't have an issue with running them.

Its nothing to do with Jims word on whether theyre good or not, i trust that haha. Its just to me, the reasons they cite as what makes them better is what we've all been told (and it makes sense) that makes them cause problems.

Well, my personal opinion follows yours. Its just that if that was the case, wouldn't Jim as well as others be posting all kinds of stuff on them swelling?
