M1009 Glow plug relay

[455SD]

Is the relay the same on the M1009 as the Civi diesel models?

Someone changed my truck over to a manual glow plug switch using a Ford solenoid in place of the stock relay. I would like to change it back to a factory setup and need to know which relay to use.

thanks

No, I don't think so. However, I got a good used one for $15 plus shipping.

When my relay went bad, I used a ford relay to replace it. It's the same function. Are you replacing it because your vehicle will be a show vehicle? I went with a ford relay because the relay carquest was trying to sell me would have needed me to change all the connections over to the "plug" style. The ford relay let me keep the "ring ends" that were already there. Just curious...I know the ford relay looks a little different, but the function is exactly the same.

By god, this is America! If you want a GM relay, git r' dun!!

I had the same problem and was advised by the local CA National Guard truck shop (the person I talked to had been working on CUCV's since they were new c.1984) to get a Borg Warner S 55 glow plug relay. I did and have no problems since.

I am fairly sure that they are the same as the early civilian style, should be able to cross reference the NSN to a standard part number.
