Tune Up Parts?

[robertwhite]

Air, Oil, Fuel, filters............ Motorcraft or Wix?

Glow Plugs............ Motorcraft, AC Delco, Bosch, Autolite? (I seem to remember reading that Autolite had caused problems, no?)

Glow plugs too?

[Dieselmann6207]

not really glow plugs are pretty good with most big compaines just not filters they tend to crumble and clog up, and motorcraft are designed for the int. engines, but i would say whatever company u get a good price on glow plugs is fine , i have used

most members will tell you to run noting but motorcraft glowplugs, but when i got a price a few weeks ago they were almost 20 bucks a piece. I bought autolite since im a broke college student, but will replace them with motorcraft next time i have a problem. havent had any problems yet with them.

any particular reason why you're replacing the glow plugs?

Motorcraft (ZD11) are only $10 a piece at Rock Auto or Partsguyed.

And BTW, anyone ever use partsguyed? They say they only use OEM.

I just got the truck and while it was a 1 owner truck with only 107K on it, I am old school and replace all tune up parts when I get a vehicle. That way I know when it was done and that quality parts were used.

I even ordered a Stancor GPR just because I know the original is on there and it seems to take a bit to long to start.

If Ford parts are the same or just a bit more than Wix (filters) I will use Ford. But there have been tons of research done on Wix and they always place right near, if not at, the top. I am just new to the diesel world which is why I asked about them with the diesels.

i don't mean to insult you but, you do realize the difference between a compression ignition engine and a spark ignition engine right?

glow plugs are not a spark plug equivalent....
