Bosch also makes a good glow plug. Part number 80 033. I have eight of them in my truck.
There's another company that is starting to offer glow plugs, but I don't know thier track record and that is Meyle.

I had an 88 7.3 F350 and the Autolites in that engine were more likely to overheat and then the tip would mushroom. Makes removal rather difficult.
