[Diesel_brad]

I am going to put glow plugs in my truck now that i am back to work. I have the 86 6.9 but it has the 7.3 glow plug system in it(out of an 88). Which glow plugs do i need and where is your recommendation on where to get em. Thanks

go to www.rockauto.com and type in 88 f250 7.3 etc and then find glow plugs in there and look for the motorcraft ones there 10 dollars and some odd cents a piece, when i wa buying plugs for my dads 7.3 i went to all the parts stores around and they all wanted 18-24 dollars each for motorcraft plugs then some one on here recomended rock auto and thats were i will by glow plugs unless someone on here sells glowplugs and its a good price then i will buy from people on this site cause i like helping people out

To make life easier you need Motorcraft and the number of the plug is ZD9

Thanks guys. That is for the bullet style GP not the flat spade ones , right?

I got motorcraft ZD 9's for $5.70 each at Checker Auto. If you have a Checker Auto in your area that's the best place to get them. Yes, the ZD 9 motorcraft or Beru glow plug is the bullet style glow plug. Well, now that I go and look at the Checker site, apparently they have caught their price mistake that used to be on their website. They now list them at $14.99 EA. As a word of warning, DO NOT use any glow plug other then a Motorcarft or Beru. Other GP's have a tendency of swelling over time and then break off in the head when trying to change them.

never use anything but motorcraft plugs, and 7.3 system uses the bullet style not the spade
