Trying to find Beru ZD-9 glow plugs....are these it?
I'm about to order my injector return line kit with my caps/washers/o-rings, and I am also ordering a set of new glow plugs.
From searching the forum, it seems the general consensus is that the Beru ZD-9's are the way to go.
I found these glow plugs that are called "ForZD9" on this site. They are $7.95 each. Are these the ones that are recommended by you guys? (Wasn't sure if they were the "Beru ZD-9's" or maybe a knock off)
I want to order these asap so I can get them changed out maybe next weekend. Can anyone confirm this for me, or direct me to where I can buy these Beru ZD-9 glow plugs? They definitely were not at my local autozone...
I bought a set of these from them a few months ago and they had "Wellman" stamped on them.. I have read here that they are just as good. NO problems and the truck goes VROOM as soon as the WTS light goes off...

I had Wellman glowplugs in my truck, 2 of them died over summer and one was intermittent, yet once I put in the manual controller override the remaining 5 glowplugs when ran for 10 seconds would start the truck almost instantly upon hitting the key.
A phone call to the supplier would confirm the exact make of the GP's.

if you have an orileys they should have them.... motorcraft zd9 /aka beru
at the international dealer they were $14.xx each for 8
ifyou ask me that is cheap insurance to keep from removing your heads to remove a broken gp
whatever you do dont use autolite, too many horror stories of them swelling / breaking off during removal,
of the plugs that came in my engine somehow an autolite snuck in there, when i tried to replact the gp's a few weeks ago the only one that gave me trouble was that one, it had swelled and burned out. took two pairs of locking pliers and a prybar to get it out, and i got lucky because it came out and did not break!

I lucked out and I bought the beru glow plugs on Ebay. When they arrived they were still in the unopened Motorcraft pouches with these prints on them:
ZD-9
F2TZ-12A342-A
Made in Germany
These specs matches exactly to the glow plugs that I used to buy from Autozone. I only buy from Ebay sellers providing $2000 buyers protection.
This rating is hard to get and the seller isn't about to cheat and lose it.
I paid $10 for each glow plug, including shipping.
where did you find them on ebay for $10.00 including shipping. i just checked tonight as i am shopping around and the cheapest was something like 10.25 plus shipping. i know it was $97 total. please point me in the right direction.

It was a one time deal because the seller only had eight glow plugs to sell. I kept trying Ebay periodically and I just happened to come across them at the right time. I typed in 'beru ZD-9 glow plugs' to search in Ebay.
I orderd those plugs from the same place.Only because they are $30.00 each at ford, and I couldn't afford them at that price. I had autolite for 2 months, and 7 of them burnt out.The plugs I got in the mail were wellman.I emailed them and told them these are not the plugs i orderd. They emailed me back and apologized and asked me what i got??? duh.Anyhow I put the wellmans in and swithched to a manual control for the plugs , hope this lasts longer.
Just bought 8 beru zd-9 plugs from csk shucks for $5.60 ea. They have beru stamped on the side. If you have a smucks or orielly near you, call and check them out. The frod stealer wanted 28.50 ea... OH MY GOD ... oh well... plan on replacing all 7 of mine that are burnt out tomorrow... than maybe my truck will start...
