Are you doing a billet compressor wheel with the ATS too?

Hi Wes,
No billet wheel, the ATS is supposed to totally eliminate surge all by itself and the billet wheel combo is reported as quite loud. The truck is already loud enough for me personally, one of my bling items is some sound deadening materials.

I have dozens of GP’s that all test good, but were changed as PM. There is no sense in installing new injectors and dropping old GP’s in when the ONLY cost is the cost of the part.

But, if I was broke or just cheap (I’m probably both...), I would ohm them out and change as needed. The good ones could last another 100k miles.

on edit: I will reiterate what Sous said, only use Motorcraft glow plugs. You can shop around and find them cheaper.
Update, this post got me looking harder. I located a set of 8 Motorcraft for $50. I thought they would be quite a bit more, still learning. Definitely worth changing while I’m in there, no question! I’m trying to do everything that makes best sense first time around, thus the original question... Thanks.

I do not recommend the ‘zoodad’ mod. It does not improve anything but does allow more bugs and dirt (and WATER/snow) to get to your filter.
