Glowplug question
Hey Ya'll. My pops got a 95' F-350 that doesn't start fur **** in the winter. Let it sit for 2 days and you have to cycle the plugs twice. I figured it needs a new set of glowplugs. Which ones are better? im not an expert on em, so what would ya'll recommend?

You'll want to check all the UVCH and plugs for burnt or melted pins while you're in there too. If you need to replace them, get the Ford ones from Riffraff also. The Dorman parts store ones are iffy. Clay at Riffraff can sell you the Ford ones cheaper than you can get them from the dealer.

The glow plugs run for one to two minutes. If you're cycling the key when the WTS light goes off, you're wasting your time. Just leave the key in RUN for a few seconds longer.
Have you checked to see that the block heater works?
If you find that the GPR is faulty, def. look into a heavy-duty alternative such as the Western Plow or Stancor.

In Canada, transmissions come in bags.
I'm just kidding. I got my Motorcraft glow plugs at O'Reilly Auto Parts. I was able to order them online and pick them up in the store the next day, which was very convenient. I don't know if O'Reilly has locations in Canada, or what. I have no familiarity with that region, apart from their affinity with bagged milk.
