I stumbled on a glow plug deal from U-techcenter. The sweet part is that they are in Canada and no shipping to the States :Thumbs Up - this might be a good deal for us in the Great White North. From what I understand these are Bosch glow plugs. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200906689226 $3 each plus shipping! :D Shipping costs $10.

Any opinions about the Bosch? I have only ever used Motocraft / Beru... I did find a thread on here saying the Bosch are also good http://www.oilburners.net/forums/sh...ow-plugs-on-eBay/page2&highlight=u-techcenter

Btw, I also found a glow plug harness that appears to have the OEM ends (bullet)... not much info about it though http://www.nationalbusparts.com/HARNESS-ELECTRICAL-GLOW-PLUG-P29082.aspx

Sorry but no opinion on the Bosch plugs. I run the motorcraft beur zd9 and have been happy with them for years. Found a champion and an autolite in my engine when I bought the truck many years ago. I even PAID a shop to replace all of the plugs.. but they did not replace number 7 and 8 plugs. I found that when I replaced the plugs later on. Crappy shop never saw me again either after that chitty kind of work...

Good buy. That was my post about Beru. You should be OK with them.

That IH GP harness will work just fine, it has a couple of extra wires in it, just pull them out. I have a couple of them I'd sell for $75,+ ship, but don't know how to ship to Canada. Being that those GP's are in Canada, U-haul may have some harness' too, if you don't need one right away I'd keep a look out on u-techcenter.

Had a girl friend in Ottawa at one time when I lived in Marine City Mich. back in the 40's. LOL

I'd grab them before riot does, maybe a couple of sets, Probably only cost for one shipping.
