3 bad GPs; replace w/ stock or upgrade?

[DTL]

Like the title says, I've got 3 glow plugs that test wacky on my m1008. 2 show no connection on the meter and one reads over 3ohms. I was going to replace all 3, but I'm wondering if I should stick with the stock replacements (AC60G I think) or upgrade. Can you run different brands of GPs without the controller freaking out? Opinions and guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Don

I just installed 60G's and they work GREAT! Truck starts like a charm with a cold engine. I don't know about "upgraded" plugs but these seem to work pretty well.

The old plugs were 13G's and were still good. I figured I'd rather replace now than wait until I had a problem down the road.

I literally just got in not 5 minutes ago from replacing all 8 of mine with 60g's, mine before that had a mix of 2 different types that I'm not sure what they are. From what I've heard 60g's seem to be the way to go, as long as your doing 3 might as well do all of them, it took me less than a half an hour by myself to replace all of them but keep in mind yours might have different connection that you'll have to grind down or use different spade connectors on.

I am running AC60G's, took out 1year old wellman's. Truck started up all winter on the first 2-3 second cranks if it was above zero. Only once did I have to cycle them twice temp was zero.
I also have them resupplied with 12volts from the 12v connection on the fire wall.
I would replace them all just for piece of mind.

Thanks guys. I just swapped out the 3 bad ones for AC 60Gs. Seems to be all good. Thanks!
