    BOSCH Duraterm Glow Plugs

    Just another note on the Wellman numbers, IIRC the 050 has a 1/4" terminal and the 070 has a 3/16" terminal(original cucv size). Aside from that, they are the same GP. I do not recommend using Wellmans at all. I have had the best performance with AC Delco AC60G glow plugs. As always, use...

    BOSCH Duraterm Glow Plugs

    I think I'll try the Bosch, next. I have never used them, and I would like to have real experience with them as well. The experiance/info posted by tamecrow sounds promising. I've had/used 32 Wellmans(18 failed), in about 18 months(8 have swollen), then switched to AC60G and used about 10(...

    BOSCH Duraterm Glow Plugs

    In all the time you have been using them, have you had any of them fail? How old are the oldest ones you have still in service? It sounds like your results have been very good.

    BOSCH Duraterm Glow Plugs

    Is this use on M1008 and or M1009 trucks? With stock wiring? And stock controller? What do they cost? 6 hours or 3 days, interesting.

    I know how Bosch spells it(but look at how they spell their own name!) I just meant to search it as I spelled it also(because we have discussed them here on SS some).
