stancor gpr

[deezelfromRofo]

Does anyone else think it is overkill and harder on the truck for cold start up? Ive been thinking about it being too much. Any thoughts as opposed to a stock gpr? Mine has been installed for quite a bit now.

Some say not needed, I was going to put one in my 97, but sold the truck before I did. I feel any extra "oomph" to get the truck started is worth it to me.

Why do you doubt the one you have installed? I think it rules, personally. I was at a horse farm the other day and I saw they had their truck plugged in and I said to my wife... "man if they only knew about the stancor relay!" No joke.
I didn't see the owners or I would have surely suggested it. It was cheaper than OEM and has a higher capacity, should last longer. I would love to hear any negatives about it, I would never think of plugging my truck in, it does so well with a working relay and good glow plugs.

Enjoy!

I think it's not really worth it of the stock one is still working

I just put mine in because AA wanted $73 and Napa wanted $64. Online it was 52. Since my truck wasn't running to get to the store I resorted to the horrific online purchasing.

I wouldn't just replace it as a "mod" but if your OEM gpr is already bad.. Do what you think is right.

Although I must say, I was a little aggravated when I got it and read MADE IN CHINA. Where are the days where we made our own shlt?

- I don't really think it makes it start better, just that it will last longer and has a more robust contact surface. I bought my truck with a bad OEM one so the first 40 degree day I was really, REALLY surprised by my nice 'new to me' truck that would not start right up!

Just curious. I find that it still struggles a bit in the morning. Good batteries, good plugs, good starter,brand new positive cable, brand new starter solenoid. Any other place to look?

i put one on mine and took the pcm out of the loop. so i have manual control over the glowplugs. last winter i got stuck trying to start up after 8 hours in a bobcat blowing snow....... no more starting issues!!!!! glad i did it
