You can find them from rockauto for around $13-14 each IRC.

I dont think rockauto is on the east coast. And from the their website no Advance Auto on the west coast.

"My" cost from Ford was $18 a piece.

This thread only confirms, what I said in my original post.

While I'm at it... Can anyone find a reliable source for the Berus, at the best possible price, that we can share with the group?

No I mean AZ was selling them out for $2.99 each and I bought 40 of them! I thought they were not going to carry them any more? Link here to thread.

Dwight you are correct they discontinued Berus and are now selling Bosch for around $11-12 each. I bought the last 13 in my local store. When they were a regular item at AZ they were 9.99 each same price as the Champs and Autolites. Made me wonder why people wouldn't just buy the OEM part since it was same price or cheaper. I understand trying different glow plugs like the SLM/LDM or some of these Borg Warner glows, maybe Delphis but why use the ones that we know are incompatible with this glow plug system(for some unknown reason..but its true)

Autozone just loves selling cheap stuff. My guess is that they are so used to pushing Champion spark plugs (they are the cheapest) that they also push their GP's.

Anything that comes into my shop with Champions gets changed out before I will even attempt any other engine diagnostics. Most often replacement with the OEM plug will fix the problem.
