Smile Ordered WAP glow plugs today

I went to WAP web sight to find distributors to buy the duel coil glow plugs. I started calling down the list and they were all on back order till april some time, the only distributors that had them in stock was IND USA Dist. (WWW.indusadist.com) They sell them by the set of 8 for $56.95 + 7.50 for shipping in u.s. All the other distributors sell them single , one of them qouted me 9.50ea. You can order them right on IND USA web site also. can 't wait to try them out - will let you guy's now how they work up here in this cold weather in alaska.

Installed the new glow plugs two weeks ago, I plug the truck in for about three hours- it was -10 in the morning. The truck fires right up with no problem Hold the glow plug switch until "wait to start" light goes out and turn the key with out getting in the cold truck- no holding throttle wide open, no more sitting there holding the glow plug button two or three times while freezing your a_ _ off until engine idels by itself.

Good I am happy for you. Now Let's see how long they last. I hope they are as good as they claim to be. Good Luck to you. Please keep us informed on their performance.
Thanks for answering back on this form. When there is a good product everybody needs to know about it, ( and bad products too).
