The Stancor unit runs around $45, I did a group buy a couple years ago and got a bunch from a fire engine company for $25 each.

It's strange how things happen. I just happened to ask about the Stancor unit yesterday morning just cause I was wondering. Well, later that morning when I went to start the truck up(I just switched my glow plugs back on for the colder weather), the indicator light I have for my GP's wasn't coming on. So I figured the fuse I had wired in line was out. Wouldn't start right away. Took quite a bit of cranking to get it turned over, and lots of white smoke when it did fire.
Well, I just now went out and checked the voltage across my relay....2 volts :{
I 'm going to troubleshoot it furthur tonight while i'm at work, cause it will be colder then, and I will be able to do more. But so far it looks like I will at least be replacing the GPR. I think I will be going with the Stancor unit.....

On a side note - weather has been crazy here the last couple of days....low 40's at night and mid 80's in the afternoon!?
