This really is an impressive GPR!
I just upgraded to the Stancor 586-902 Glow Plug Relay and it's beefier than what I imagined from reading about others doing this mod. It's massive, has a 600 amp inrush rating and dwarfs the itty-bitty NAPA 109 I had there before. When holding one in each hand, it's like a grape vs. a grapefruit!
Here is my little writeup on the change-out. I have to say that I think it is well worth the $43 with the quantity of GPR problems we see in the winter.

Me too, especially since I just put in a GP-109. I am still thinking about taking it out and putting in the OEM one I have, but damn. If I take it out, one of those is going in!!

, mine has hummed since the day I put it in.

Great write up again. I have a couple of those relays laying around from when i did car stereo competitions. Mine are made by stinger but are the same size and shape and are the 200 amp relays. I will swape mine out and see how it works even though i replaced my gpr about a month ago with a 60 dollar oem one.

This contactor has been around for years and I have read about PSD owners using it for more than 4 years now on both idi and di engines. I have not read any postings on failures of the Stanton so I figured .... Why not?
