No problem using the ZD 9 if you can get a good electrical connection to the glow plug.

Just hold the manual switch for 10 seconds, a bit less if it is over 40 and start the engine.

The set I am running is three years old, and they are all still good.

Knowledge....that just means some of us break more stuff than others do.
How do I know what I know, from fixing it after I broke it.

I wish I only had to replace stuff that was worn out.

Many of the parts I have had to replace had more to do with the loads I haul and the places I haul them.
