Motorcraft beru for $10 a piece online. I found mine on ebay, but check out the bad sellers on here first. There's some guy on ebay that is bad news selling IDI stuff.

I've heard some people find the motorcraft gp's at O'Reilly's

A reasonable replacement might be Wellmans, but honestly nothing beats the Motorcrafts if we're talking a factory 87 and up GP system. Look, any money either you or the customer might have saved is out the window. The worst part is usually I've seen Autolites and Champions cost about $9.99, comparable to Motorcraft unless you buy them from the dealer where you really get screwed.

I know Justin said he bought his beru's on rockauto.com for $10 apiece if I remember correctly.

Only buy Ford/Motorcraft Beru's. It's just that simple. I willfully put a few Autolights in the Moosestang to force myself to get this trans and engine swap project going, and it lasted 2 days. Now a plug is stuck, and I haven't had the truck on the road in 2 months. Hopeing to get to it around Christmas.

ZD9's run about $.50 more than ZD1A's.

I agree Beru's only. After my GP history the next thing in line after Beru's is ether ... Serious.

Mater smoked the gpc last week and killed all 8 motorcraft glow plugs. Spent 20 minutes and replaced all 8 with fresh new ones. Not one swelled up. Whew!!!

Save yourself headache and order the motorcraft/Beru plugs, I just ordered mine from rock auto, got second say shipping. Nothing compares to MC/Beru.

 

[94f450sd]

unfortunately its not always up to me.but i told them i would find a place they can get them if they want.i explained why they should get them.forwarded the sites to them if they wish to order them

I just ordered mine from dieselfiltersonline.com 88 bucks shipped.

Definitely no substitute for motor craft beru's
