What is the recommended change interval for glow plugs...not necessarily from a book, I got that, they want to sell parts, but from those in the know. I have a set in mine that have been there for over 2 years, approaching 3. The thing starts great and while I don't mind spending the money on a new set, I'm wondering if I need to? I guess put it this way, I've taken somewhat of the "if it aint broken, don't fix it" mentality on this truck, it aint broken, so should I fix it? If it matters, I've put less than 10,000 miles on it since I've owned it. I will be needing it to start in cold weather though, as it is our clubs hunting UTV!
I'm running the solid state system (came that way it's an 87) put a new controller on when I changed the glow plugs and found they weren't working (they were autolites, so they needed changed and everyone was swollen, but came out whole) and am running Motocraft plugs. Also, does Autozone still have the bullet style motorcraft ones? ZD1A IIRC. I know there were several posts about them clearancing the spade type, but just wondered.
Anyway, thoughts?
