Which Glow Plugs?
Anybody out there have any suggestions as to which brand of glow plugs I should use when replacing my old glow plugs? I have a '97 F350 PS.

Thanks for all your info but I've heard that there were better quality plugs other than motorcraft. I was thinking about going with Bosch. Anybody tried this brand?

The ZD-11's are THE best plugs you can get.

They are made by Beru, not Motorcraft.
Bosch for chevies.

You can put the bosch in there if you want, but the beru's are what you will pull out if they are factory.
The other GP's swell up and, well, there isn't much room for swelling in the cavity.

You can ask the dealer if they would come down on the price, usually they do. It did cost me more than $35 though. Good job, Talyn!

Seems to be a wide spread of pricing on these. Looks like some shopping is in order for the best deal.
