My fuel filter heater connector broke and I am looking for another one could be used or could be new doesn't matter. The part number is F4TZ-9S277-A.

There are for sale/wanted sections which would be better than this for you.
Other thing, why you want the connector? You don't need it really. Just trying to save you some money.

Thank you, why do I not need it? Truck wot start when it's cold out.

I unplugged mine when the heater shorted out. That was almost a year ago. With a decent fuel additive you shouldn't have a problem.

Well I replaced all my glow plugs at beginning of summer and truck doesn't want to start when it's like 50 out and I use the additives

You shouldn't need the fuel bowl heater. I unplugged mine when it shorted out, and never put a second thought into replacing it, and have had zero problems.. and some pretty damn cold days since then. Is your glow plug relay in good shape?

[janelldawn92]

I also have to plug truck in every night or else it won't start in morning

[janelldawn92]

How do I know?

[janelldawn92]

We tested it and it all works.

I've never actually had to test mine, but when you turn the key on, you should get 12 volts on the switched side of the relay. Or, try jumping the two large posts on the relay with a screwdriver before you start it cold, and see if that works.

How many miles are on your truck?
