Uahul parts FYI

[phazertwo]

I ordered glow plugs from Uhaul parts. I was excited because the price was only $25 for all 8, and the part number said ZD9. Seemed to good to be true, so I searched here and found nothing about it so I went ahead and ordered. Received them yesterday and they are all Bosch.

I would send em back

I bought 100 of them, they work fine. I have been installing and using them for nearly a year now.

If I have to run a glow plug that is not a ZD9, than I will run a Bosch, since I have had good luck getting them out after 100+k miles. But I still prefer the ZD9's. I think I will keep them in the tool box just in case.

I've never had a problem with bosch plugs. Have a few left in my motor I haven't swapped out yet. Going strong for 5 years.

yeah. MAybe ok to use in a pinch, but I wouldnt want to take the risk of having to pull the heads to save $10-$15

That is why I said I would keep them in my tool box just in case...

I just changed my Glow plugs. According to the POs maintenance records thay had about 125K on them. They were bosch with no swelling. I would run em again.

I love bosch plugs ... in European diesels. THey will go 2-300k miles without any probloems, but I put a set in my IDI ans they burned out after a week. No swelling, but internally, they were toast. It would be nice if Bosch made their new Duraterm type plugs for our engine, those things are basically constant duty, but I have personally contacted their headquarters and asked if they have any plans to make them and the answer was no. They are only going to keep making the old style for this application as it's a limited application.

Not sure why yours burnt out only after a year. I have some in my trucks almost a year now with no issues at all.

I burned up 2 complete sets in about 3 weeks....no swelling, just stopped working.

I put a set of Motorcraft plugs in her and never looked back since.....2 years ago that was.

That's exactly what happened to me, 1 week on the bosch before toast, and well over 75k miles and counting on the same set of Berus now

Nothing wrong with Bosch plugs. They are exceptional plugs. I bought mine from U-haul parts when they had their liquidation sale and have never had a problem with them. I am running them in both trucks too.

Same experience here. I guess they only work in California......
