What are the best Glow plugs for the controller? I keep hearing Accurate diesel, diesel rx, diesel logic, but I'm leanin more towards the ZD9. :) Converting my truck back to stock with controller new.

dont have experience with those other plugs to really say anything about them, but zd9s with the stock controller WILL work , and will work good.

I have been running the self regulating dual coil ones from Accurate Diesel for a couple years now. No complaints from me, though I am not running the stock controller either, I'm manual push buttoned.

You glowplug harness and the connectors on the glowplugs themselves had better be in tip top shape, or you will have trouble starting the truck with the auto controller.

I have run most of the plugs and I feel confident telling you the motorcraft beru ZD( will work best of all. I am positive about telling you the autolites and the champions are horrible and never use them. I lost a few tips that went thru my turbo years ago. Both of those plugs are known to loose tips and swelll up so bad they wont pass thru the head. So guess what.. your removing the heads... Not a fun job for cheaping out and running sub standard plugs..
