MOTORCRAFT ZD-9 (Ford Part No. F2TZ-12A342-A). I believe they are but before I purchase are these the right glow plugs for a 1992 7.3 IDI?

Thanks Fellas

 

87 up is the ZD9 plugs.

 

yep i roll the same truck and thats what i'm runnin bro

 

Thanks, just bought them, $8.50 a piece, no shipping. Think that a decent price.

 

sure is, post the link!!

 

Unfortunately its an ebay purchase

 

He run a store selling them or did he just have the one set?

 

The guy that I bought mine from on ebay had a "store" selling them. I say "store" because he didn't have them listed on an ebay store page. He specializes in glow plugs, but instead of an ebay store he just keeps about 8-10 sets up for auction at all times. They just had a "buy now" price of $65, so there was no bidding on them. So it's an actual dealer, not just some random guy.

 

You need to check them to make sure they are BERU ZD9s. Whatever you choose, you should connect them to a 12V power supply to heat them up before you install them. You may save yourself a lot of work if you have an infant failure. If you've been on here very long, you know where I stand.

 

The best way to prevent "infant" failure is a good pack of trojans. Glow plugs may burn a bit, but some girls are into that kind of thing

 

So where do you stand again?? hahaha, if buying from an ebay store, i would definitely do that! Very solid advice and while josh's reply was hilarious, he needs to heed that warning.

 

That is definately a cheap price, but we have had more than one member do an internet order and what was somld as ZD9s turned out to be a different brand. So yea check them out, I would do that even if they are berus, anyone can buy a bad one and I kinda suspect a lot of internet deals are seconds or something.

 

There are some pretty good stores on ebay, you just have to be careful who you buy from and to do a little homework on them first. I've bought quite a few things off of there and actually had less problems than I do with the Ford dealer or a national chain. Some are cheap because they are bad parts, but there are also people that buy in bulk and just don't mark things up as much as the Ford dealer.

Why would I need to heed my warning about preventing "infant" failure?

 

I think he was giving marianna a hard time, lol. I have bought a lot of stuff off of ebay too, and had pretty good luck. Some things I like a face to face transaction though.

 

No i wasnt giving her a hard time and i believe she meant an "infant failure" to be a new seller that will fauk you over!! Do whatever you want Josh, if you are dead set to buy from ebay and are willing to take the chance go ahead, you just have some people on here that want to make sure you dont get screwed and offer advice. In canada the ZD9's are about 14 a piece at my price. That includes all of the taxes and import fees from the states. Oh and that is from a ford dealer. So remove all of the tax and fees and you are at about 10.40 per GP. I can handle it because i know that i wont have any problems with their products and if i do they will make it right. Best luck bro!
