Glow plug relay?
I am going to try the relay first before I replace the glow plugs. I am shopping at Discount Auto (parts America).
- Are there any differences in these relays besides the price?
- Standard Motor Products Relay $98.99
- BWD Automotive Relay $99.99
- Niehoff Ignition Relay $59.99

I know nothing of the GPR's you listed, but I know you can get a GPR-109 at NAPA for around $30. It fits our trucks...Here's a picture of it.
You ought to test your GPR BEFORE replacing. Just jump the two big posts for about 30 seconds or so (use a screwdriver or jumper cable) and if it then starts easier, the problem is the GPR.

Know you already bought one but I got one of these 2 years ago with no issues. At the time was quite a bit cheaper and much heavier than name brands found locally.

I bought the Stancor from Mouser, it was $49.95 plus shipping, was a little hard getting it in place, but as mentioned in previous post it is meatier! my NAPA lasted less than two years, it ain't worth buying the cheaper one again.
