Hey all--
In a nutshell I've had a helluva time with glow plugs over the years and since cold weather is around the corner this is unavoidable. I replaced all my Autolites (thank god) with motorcraft GP's in time. Then replaced the very costly GP controller with a dealer original...then replaced the relay (for the 2nd time) with a napa swap. Since rockauto can't tell the different between IDI and powerstroke... Anyway. I've heard of a lot of people switching to different relays (stronger relays) that are supposedly more robust. My napa relay clicked from the beginning and just went out. Should I go for another one or should I try a different relay all together? I should also mention only 7 of 8 GP's work...One is seized so badly into the head the nut separated from the threads. Decided just to leave it and pull the head in the future. Suggestions?
