There should almost be a sticky thread dedicated specifically to the parts that should only be MotorCraft...and which parts are acceptable as aftermarket.

Jim at rosewood has had good luck with diesel RX glow plugs as well.

<p>and they are even bigger turds.</p><p>the old job used to buy them at auction anytime they saw them for dime on the dollar with no miles on them. they were so underpowered i would have to move them on the lowboy to the job sites because they were too dangerous to drive on the road.</p><p>we were getting 3-4 year old F-650 and F-750 trucks with the gold plated cummings turds that had less than 40,000 miles on them for under $5,000 at auction, sometimes buying 5-6 at a time because no one else wanted them. we used them as attenuator trucks on the road jobs.</p>

Yeah, you're right, but I was just making the point that the idea of a Cummins engine in a truck should not be incompatible with Ford fanhood.

Nothing wrong with the tightwad mod. Maybe not the best way to go about getting a few extra ponies, but the price is right.

The resistor mod is fine though. Nothing wrong with it. Maybe not the best way do go about something, but for a few bucks, sure feels like more power.

My problem with the resistor mods is this: First you cut wires and solder in the resistor. Then you get more power, you're happy for a while. Then you decide you want more power. So you want a chip or whatever. Now you have to cut out the resistor and solder the wire back together. You should've just bought a chip in the first place, lol.
