Glow Plugs and GP Module

Hey guys, been a while since I've posted here but I've stil got my 91/89 7.3 IDI. Its needing some glow plugs and i remember that Autolites are not the brand to use(right??) Wheres everyone getting quality GP's from these days? Also the GP module will be getting replaced but I 've always gotten that from Napa unless you have other suggestions.

Pic for interest...

Well, if you are using them with an OEM controller then I suggest you use Motorcraft

Motorcraft glow plugs last set I got off rockuto. As far as napa, I find those to be hit or miss lately for electrical stuff.

Our local bone yard usually has some, too bad shipping is probably ridiculous on one.
My truck came with those later big hubcaps that make your wheels look fancy. I ended up removing them just to have something different for a while.

I can't find the old-school front dogbowls for a 4x4 to save my life...

Although I have one cheby one, it's my lucky hubcap that hides the crossthreaded stud the guy at the tire shop absolutely destroyed with his impact.

I got my glow plug controller/solenoid unit from O'Reilly's and it snapped when I was attaching the wires, they replaced it for free and has been working for about 2yrs now. If I remember right it was around 120$?
