I don't what brand I'm going to use yet. The last set I put on it were autolite and I didn't like them. Where can I get those other brands at?

I think you mean "Beru"/motorcraft. Schucks/O'reillys carries them as well, but the bastards just doubled the price from $6 to $15. If you wanted, you could run the newer glow plugs, ZD9's instead of ZD1's. They can be run for 15-20 seconds. The only thing you would have to change is the connectors on your harness. The old plugs have a spade connector while the new ones have a bullet connector.

I fried my autolites in a whole 2 days, and I never left em on more than 5-6s put in a set of bosch and replaced the controller and had no problems at all.

there's info around to upgrade to the 7.3 newer style controller, I would recommend that

Does any other parts stores carry Beru/Motorcraft gp because I don't have an O'reily near where I live.

Check with summit racing, they carry them most of the time. I remember last year they were running deals and selling thm dirt cheap so we bought enough for 3 trucks haha

plus summit has super fast shipping (i'm to lazy to drive the 20miles)
