well guys, i think it is time to replace the glow plugs on my truck. 93000 miles. i was hoping to make it through the cold colorado winter but i dont think that is going to happen. it was about 2* out this morning and there was lots of white smoke upon start up.
should i get factory motorcraft glowplugs or does someone recommend a better set? i found a few sets of oem motorcraft gp's on ebay for about $65 +shipping. does that sound about right?

 

Thats a good price buy them. Just do not use autolites , the tips break off and go in the cylinder.

 

thanks john, i couldnt remember what brands the tips break off of. i called the international dealer and they want $20.87/plug!!!! no way!!

 

That's a very good price.
That's cheaper than I paid for my new Bosch ones from IMC at wholesale rate.

 

Yep i have a set of those $65 plugs on the way for our 95. Pulling the engine and doing it over and im doing new plugs while im in there. Cylinders 1,5,6,8 were all 5.5ohms or worse.

 

i just ordered the plugs from ebay. i should have them by the weekend so i can install them saterday along with my new pedestal.
i think i have asked this before but i will ask it again, is there any write up on changing out the plugs? i havent done a search yet or checked guzzle's site yet but i figured i would ask. also is there any special tools that are needed? specfic torque specs?

 

I didnt need any special tools, maybe just a 1/4 drive 10MM. The torque spec is 15 ft lbs.

 

thanks i found the site on the 7point3.com site.

 

autozone sells them for $9.00 each so depending on how much shipping is and how soon you need them...
