7.3 won't start cold
My 2001 7.3 powerstroke will not start when it is cold and I just replaced the glowpligs with Bosch and I replaced the gpr. Is there anything else I can check or replace or did I buy the wrong brand glow plugs. Thank you

Well, it used to be recommended to stick with Motorcraft GP's because aftermarket plugs could stick in the head if you had to replace them later. Are you getting any white smoke when you crank it over?

There are 2 big posts on the GPR. What I do when it goes bad, I take a screwdriver, preferably one that you're not necessarily fond of, and arc across those posts for about 30 seconds or so, then hop in the truck and start it. If that works, then you likely have a bad GPR.
