'90 F350 with my '94 Turbo IDI.....
Well I replaced my NAPA LIFETIME WARRENTY Starter early August.....been bout 5-6 yrs since last one. This last one, the Aug one, lasted only bout 100 miles, cause I got sick etc etc & didn't drive till other day.
Well Tue I changed it again. While there at NAPA I got to talking about the starter relay as well as talking about the GP Relay.
Anyway to shorten things he told me I could use a GP Relay in place of a Starter Relay, but not a Starter Relay in place/on the GP Relay. What you guys think/say??? He said it had to do with amperage draw & draw time.
IIRC several yr ago, 20-25 yr ago (before I learned as much bout IDIs) I had a GP Relay go out & parts guy at different store sold me a Starter Relay for GP Relay, said there was no difference. hummmm
Recently I bought an Amazon "used" Dorman 904-194 Diesel Glow Plug Relay marked down to bout $12. Since then I've figured out it fits a lot newer Powerstroke diesel. However it looks the same.
Does anybody know, or know if it would fit my rig??
TIA
