If you want to be experimental with plugs, just make sure they are rated at a higher voltage than what you get at the plug. That way, if they crap out, chances are they wont swell because its not getting enough voltage to get hotter, faster.

The glow plugs I bought from e-bay which I just posted about a few threads down are the Wap ones....All 8 are toast within a short time, and some of them were a one time use only plug......I have all beru's now. and am much happier.

Is getting worn out
I just removed all of my burned up motorcrafts and 2 had swelled tips and one was missing a piece of glow plug in the side of it
"well i installed my own glow plug delete kit" just cut the tip off some old ones and put them in

When did glow plugs get so expensive?
I mean it wasnt more than a couple years ago Beru's were like $7 a piece it seems.
I want to tap the intake manifold for two of those screw in grid heaters. Run them for 30 seconds...the like 5 seconds on the regular glow plugs. Hopefully it will extend the life of them.

I bought from here a couple of months ago for 5.99 each, but they are now 14.99. I bought a couple of other parts to make if free shipping.

What was the Part# of the autolites?
The next question is what GP to use. Here is where the fun begins. I profess using AC12Gs or Autolite 1109s. They are temperature limiting via. A built in positive temperature coefficient resistance coil in series with the heating coil. This allows the GP to heat to red hot and stay there without melting down. The normal failure mode of a GP is overheating. Caused by a controller going bad or a finger getting too heavy. At any rate a pain in the butt. Now if you want the ultimate GP, a BERU 007 is temperature controlled and a BERU that everyone holds in reverence.$21.15 at
For BERUs: https://www.real4wd.com/B1WebTools/c...spx?PartNo=007 $21.15
Check out this website: Glow Plug - Military Humvee 6.5L I've emailed them regarding their GP_65MILHUM GPs. They even have the correct terminal! $68.50/set + S&H.
Check them out if you don’t believe me. Whatever you choose, preheat them before you install them. Hook them up to 12V and watch them heat, you may want to do it in two stages, 1st heat them until they smoke. Let them cool as you test the others, then take them to red hot. If you have an ammeter to measure the current and they are temperature limiting, they should start out at around 10 amps and taper off to about 4 amps. If they continue to draw 10amps, they are not TL GPs.
