2004 Ford E-450 Econoline Glow Plugs

An essential component in the diesel electronic control system, the glow plug control module interfaces with the vehicle’s powertrain control module to energize the glow plugs to assist with cold engine start-up. Failure can result in hard-starting and/or illumination of the engine malfunction indicator or check engine lamp.

Product Features:

• Original equipment fit, form and function
• Direct OE replacement
• No programming or reflash required

The Diesel Glow Plug Controller is an application specific item specifically designed to control all aspect of glow plug operation.

Product Features:

• Product constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• 100% thermo-shock and vibration tested to ensure superior performance in extreme conditions.

NGK metal glow plugs are trusted by OEM diesel engine manufacturers around the world to perform under the harshest conditions. NGK metal glow plugs are equipped with a heating coil in a glow rod made of heat-resistant magnesium oxide between the heating and regulating coils. Magnesium oxide is an outstanding thermal conductor (quickly dissipating heat), while protecting the heating coils from vibration and shock. NGK metal glow plugs feature excellent gas-tight sealing qualities that deliver superior electrical insulation and protection against combustion gas. NGKs metal composition helps reduce carbon accumulation to prevent short circuits, while the unique shell design provides excellent heat transfer.

Product Features:

• ACTUAL OE or EQUIVALENT DESIGN: OEM quality construction metal glow plug
• SUPERIOR DURABILITY: Metal glow plugs are designed to withstand thermal shock due to quick changes in temperature
• FAST HEATING PERFORMANCE: Fast heat up enables smooth engine starts even in extreme weather conditions
• CLEAN PERFORMANCE: Constant afterglow temperature minimize noxious pollutants
• RECOMMENDED USAGE: Best for diesel engines with OE metal glow plugs
• Superior Performance Under Harsh Conditions: NGK metal glow plugs are trusted by OEM diesel engine manufacturers worldwide for their reliable performance in extreme environments.
• Advanced Heating Technology: Equipped with a heating coil in a glow rod made of heat-resistant magnesium oxide, these glow plugs ensure quick heat dissipation and protection against vibration and shock.
• Excellent Gas-Tight Sealing: NGK metal glow plugs feature superior gas-tight sealing qualities, providing excellent electrical insulation and protection against combustion gas.
• Reduced Carbon Accumulation: The metal composition of NGK glow plugs helps reduce carbon build-up, preventing short circuits and ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Efficient Heat Transfer: The unique shell design of NGK metal glow plugs offers excellent heat transfer, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of the diesel engine.

Modern vehicles may have 100 or more electrical harness connectors in every operating system of the vehicle. Terminal tension may weaken with time or corrosion may occur within the connector housing making replacement necessary. When replacing any harness-connector assembly approved wire termination methods must be followed to ensure a successful and long-term solution to the original problem is made. A failed terminal connection, terminal corrosion or damaged wire will result in an electrical system fault.

Product Features:

• Carquest electrical connectors meet or exceed OE wire gauge, insulation, and terminal material requirements.
• Sealed connections (where applicable) to prevent environmental corrosion and performance issues
• Global coverage for import and/or domestic applications
• OE specified wire gauge to ensure a reliable electrical connection
• Designed to meet or exceed OE specifications in form, fit and function
