They are factory. It uses an Isuzu engine. I have one but it needs work. When it was running properly I got 50 miles per gallon. Non turbo so doesn't do hills very well.

New question

When replacing glow plugs do I have to replace the controller also? I understand it is expensive, and I just don't have the money. What is the worst that will happen?

As long as the existing controller works you can continue to use it.

Not that expensive though.
$85-$120 for controller
$10 for sensor
$8 ea. for bosch duratherm glows
