## Description

ZD9 s/s to ZD29, Now Shipping ZD29 MC3Z12A342E

Review: Best starts I've ever had! - After reading of other Ford IDI owners experiencing catastrophic engine failure after installing cheap GP's, I realized I was being pound foolish using cheap GP's. Now the truck starts better than it ever has, thanks to these new glow plugs. They also allow the GP controller to operate properly, applying correct cycle duration.
Review: Authentic Beru glow plugs - Arrived very late due to shipping issues, how ever when they arrived and I looked at them no question about quality and the price is amazing, I will keep them as spares for my truck as I had to buy a set locally for an 170 dollars cad due to an emergency situation. Never use autolite glow plugs in your truck, will be the worst mistake of your life, especially at this awesome price, get the proper ZD9's (Beru) and make life pleasant, I all so recommend using a bit of marine never-seez (NMCBT-8) on the threads to make life even better for the next time ! Thank you to the company that supplied them, thank you for shipping to Canada, and thank you for an amazingly fair price!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: do these glow plugs fit a 1997 f350 7.3 powerstroke diesel?**
A: Hi. These will not fit a 97. They are meant for a non turbo direct injected engine which was discontinued after 92. Hope this helps.

**Q: Will they work on a 1994 f350 7.3 idi turbo?**
A: As long as it's the idi diesel engine, yes. In 1994 there were two different 7.3 diesel engines available.

**Q: is there a tool available to help pull glow plug after loosening it?**
A: Nothing that I'm aware of. Mine where a little tight pulling them out due to carbon and ballooning of the plug. Keep working them around and pulling and it should come out. I did pull a little bit with some pliers on a few too. If not other options are quite mechanically involved...

**Q: Would these fit in a 6.9l idi?**
A: They should. The 7.3 IDI and the 6.9 IDI have the same glow plug specs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OEM glow plugs. Truck fires up perfect. No more clicky clicky glow plug controller.
*by P***A on May 23, 2022*

Just so people know it only took one bad glow plug to make my glow plug controller click repeatedly after cycling. These were actually way easier to install than I though with a pretty simple 1/4" drive set and extension. Make sure you cover the intake and blow all the crap out of the glow plug areas. My trucks an AZ truck so it had tons of dirt in there. It was a mess to clean out but WAY better than dropping dirt into the glow plug hole. I blew compressed air and put a shop vac where I was blowing air to try and catch some of the dirt and debris. Once that was done I sprayed some penetrating oil on the threads, scrubbed with a tooth brush and blew again. After this is about as easy as changing a seat of spark plugs on a V8 gasser.
