no, they get wired differently.
if you go to the top of the page look for the Glow plugs, 87 thru 94, new style system stickie, and this will show you how to properly wire the relay and controller

If you are going to up grade to the ZD-9 GP`s and Controller. Pick up a set of the GP harness for the 6.0 Ford Diesels.
Good thread here on what you have to do. You can get both Harnesses off E-bay for around $25. Be sure you get
both sides, some sellers sell only one side at a time for a high price.
