No wait to start light when hot
Yep, there are definitely differences, but unless you are very familiar with OEM you’ll probably not even realize it. I fought glow plug issues for a while until I went back to the first thing I did, which was installed these plugs. If they are on eBay or Amazon for under $65, the deal is...- Special K

Like this crimp on the plug, one round single crimp is on the fakes vs multiple crimps on the genuine plug. I also noticed the fake requires a 10mm socket vs 3/8” on the genuine.- Special K

When the plugs are sold under a Ford part number, in Ford packaging but do not come a Ford supplier, they are counterfeit. There are subtle ways to tell, but it is difficult.- Special K

F-Superduty Antilock Brakes
Winner winner chicken dinner! It’s a Marmon Harrington F-Superduty 4x4 conversion. It’s got a massive MC-80 front axle with T-case adapter, crossmember and ebrake relocation. Everything I need to build a 4x4 rollback. It was from an old Asplundh tree truck.- Special K
