Glow Plugs

I've tried autolites, they just go out in no time, so I tried Champions, but I'd never had one melt in the head, until two days ago, when in another guys truck I worked on wouldn't crank, tested all the plugs, only 1 was bad, but it wouldn't come out. I've heard about this problem, but never had it myself until now. What about Bosch? I've never tried these.

You can get your GPs from IH 7.3 IDI (IH 1819649C1) they only put proven products in their engines....or get Mororcraft/Beru from Ford F2TZ-12A342-A or try Azone.


Visit http://www.members.shaw.ca/k2pilot/ before removing the swelled GP if needed. Come back and ask any questions BEFORE removing any.

In 2002, the Carlyle Group acquired a major take in BERU AG, a German maker of diesel engine specialist. In 2004, it sold its stake to Borg Warner, a US-based leader in automotive engine manufacturing
