Solid state GP controler

[Ironman03R]

I have a 6.9 GP controler/sol that is off an 84, but it looks just like my solid state on the 94. Dose the old style look anything like the solid state one? I didnt think it did.

International offered a retrofit kit for the early 6.9's, my 85 International has the solid state system installed also.

So if it looks like a small box with a solenoid on it with the zig-zag resistor, and 6 wires, color: Red, White, Blue, Black Green Yellow, it is the solid state?
It looks like mine, I just want to confirm that its what I need since all my experiance is with the 7.3's 88-94.

Does it click on and off after initial warm up?

If its solid state it will also have the bullet type glow plug terminals like your 94. The latching relay uses a screw in the head controller on the driver's side and spade terminal plugs.

Maybe I should have been more clear on this, I wanted to know because I was gonna buy some "spare parts". Was told they were 6.9 parts, probibly off an 85. I know about the GP terminal differences, but w/o it being on the truck I have no way of knowing if it was a solid state controler, It looked just like mine and had the same color wires(i think).

There would be no mistaking the 2 different controllers, they are completely different. If it looks like the unit on your 7.3 then it is a solid state unit.

Thats what I needed to know. I figured it was the right one, but I didnt want to buy something I wont be able to use.
Thanks
