I believe that olds plug was a 12g, had a set of them many years ago, and they wont burn out......but take longer than anything I have ever used, to get good and hot.I don't see how multiple plugs could fail out of the blue when being used on a manual gp system.FWIW I remember hearing that glow plugs out of a oldsmobile 350 diesel will thread right into an IDI and they are self regulating so they can be held on for a few minutes each cycle and last years, as in 20 years.Just passing it on.

Are the bosch plugs spade or bullet style?I believe that olds plug was a 12g, had a set of them many years ago, and they wont burn out......but take longer than anything I have ever used, to get good and hot.
from my experience the bosch duratherm 80034 works really good in these trucks with manual control. You can leave them on all day without issue, and they fit without modification......other than the electrical connector. I have been putting this plug in ford idis and chevy idis with manual control now for about 10 years and havent seen a single one burnt out.
but the multi meter says nobody is home.
I might try them in my 87' f250 since it needs a new harness and plugs.Would they fit the early 6.9 harnesses?What type of connectors did you use?thanksnarrow spade.
I am still on the fence about it,but I will probably end up sticking with the zd9 plugs since I have had great experiences with them,and I always hear horror stories with other plugs including bosch so I will stick with the zd9 plugs.I might try them in my 87' f250 since it needs a new harness and plugs.Would they fit the early 6.9 harnesses?What type of connectors did you use?thanks

Don't you mean "nobody is ohm"?
