This looks like a really fair price for a set of glow plugs if anybody needs a set...

They are not for the early 6.9 plugs with the spade connecters. These are for the 7.3 post type connecter but you can upgrade the early 6.9 glow system so you can use these. Non turbo.... Thats just someone stateing that they have no idea what they are talking about....

Bosch plugs do exist. They're better than autolites and chumps. They should not damage the engine but they supposedly burn out quickly and don't work very well with these motors. RLDSL really likes Bosch in his euro diesels so he tried that with the IDI with less than stellar results. Not disastrous like autolites but having to replace them again pretty fast. Also if you have a manual glow plug system the Bosch would probably be just fine. It seems it was tough to design a replacement plug for the solid state system and berus are the best but a few others work. My choice would be....
1) Beru 2) Wellman/Delphi 3) anything else reputable and not made by Johnson Controls. I used some LDM(now SLM) when I first converted to solid state, they also seem to be high quality. I actually put constant voltage to them by accident for at least 1 minute and they did not burn up and swell, they even ohmed out right but they would not work right after that incident. They may possibly be just as good as berus but I cannot confirm it thanks to running an essentially damaged product those next few days.

Don't waste your money on them. I don't know why, but for some reason,Bosch did a poor job of matching up plugs for this application, and they don;t have their modern duraterm extended burn plugs for them, and I didn't even get a week out of a set, where I usually get 100k or so out of a set of their plugs in European applications.
Stick with the Berus. save the headaches.
