Glow plugs, Code P0673. What do you use?
So I have a new code n the beast. Which I am not surprised. She has been a little harder starting for a couple of days.
So since I have to pay someone to open her up, I am gonna do them all at once. But I was wondering has anyone done there's and what did they use? I have always replaced mine wi the motorcraft brand, but is there a better, hotter plug out there? I saw an ad for one that said 100degrees hotter and 20% faster than stock, but I don't want to have to do it again anytime soon.
Thanks for the help.

In my experience it's best to stick with the OE glow plugs. Does it really take all that long when they are all working? White hot is white hot. Once you're there it really doesnt matter.

Other brands have been known to swell inside the heads.

Or worse yet, swell and then them fall or break off into the cylinder.
