Thumbs up Glow plug relay

Did a search here when I was having cold start problems. May put the blame on the glow plugs or the glow plug relay. As stated in those post the relay from the dealer was $100.. Found NAPA had them for $79.99.
Did a EBAY search and found this. EBAY Item # 7948394029
Or do a search under user name Accuratediesel.com!
This guy also tells you how to test it.
I bought The relay and a set of glow plugs for $109.25 + $5.50 for shipping.
They where delivered in 3-4 day's and just the relay fixed the problem.
Just wanted to hook up some of you with same ploblem.

Be real careful with the glow plugs. Most will only recomend Motorcraft. People are having problems with Autolite and others burning the tip and sticking in the hole.

glow plugs

<TABLE width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD><!--var currentIndex = 0;var currentIsSuper = false;var superSizeURL = 'http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7946240719&indexURL=' + currentIndex + '&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting';var superSizeGotoURL = 'http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7946240719&indexURL=' + currentIndex + '#ebayphotohosting';//--></SCRIPT><!-- Begin Description -->Here is the right-up. Any body had a problem with these??


This kit includes a new Delphi glowplug control relay (a very common problem on the Powerstrokes) and a set of our SLM/LDM Premium dual coil glowplugs. This kit fits all 7.3L Ford and International Powerstroke diesels.
Why are SLM dual coil glow plugs superior?
  1. Self-regulating - A high positive temperature coefficient limits current flow as the glow plug heats up to prevent the tip from overheating, melting, and swelling
  2. Fast heat - SLM glow plugs heat up much faster again due to the dual coil design which allows initial resistance to be very low - FASTER STARTS
  3. Post heating - The glow plug retains heat much better than other designs for smoother cold engine operation right after starting.
  4. Long life - Tired of constant glow plug replacements that eat up your diesel savings? Here's your solution!
  5. Customer tried and true - these are a highly praised item on the diesel discussion boards.
We ship Priority and ship ASAP.

I will not run anything but Motorcraft glow-plugs. I have heard to many horror story's about people having to pull the head to get out broken off plugs. If you want to solve your glow plug relay problem forever get a Stancor PN# 586-902. They are more expensive but they are much heavier duty than the stock one or any replacement out there.
