Glow plugs?

I will be changing the glow plugs in my PSD soon, and was wondering which brand would be the best to go with, last longer, and make winter starting easier. I have looked at several different brands and haven't quite made up my mind, and would appreciate some helpful info. Thanks

Take a look at the first sticky thread on this page. It has a write-up about glowplugs and is quite informative. Even gives you part #s and where to buy. Ray

I would stick to OEM. Don't use Autolites!! When i changed mine someone had already replaced them with Autolites. 3 of them fell apart when i was removing them. Heard lots of stories about them since than. Hope all goes well for you. Good luck!!
