I ran one on my 02 for years, and never a problem. It always started, and I never, ever plugged my truck in. I know I remember seeing -15. I only ever had to have them on for maybe 30 seconds. When it was that cold, on the first time I tried to crank it over, it would "bump" and shut down. Then on the second try it ALWAYS started and idled. Up until 310K or so when I finally got rid of it. They work perfect for glow plugs, not so much for bridging batteries with 00 or 0000 wire. They will burn out from the high inrush current of connecting discharged batteries together. Though in 5 years of running it as a GPR I never had an issue. Can get it here [url]http://www.dieselorings.com/16-009-white-rodgers-stancor-586-902-monster-glow-plug-relay.html[/url] Or at mouser.

Its closer to the price of a Ford (~100) but it rated for repetitive high current switching applications. We use them to bridge/charge secondary battery systems we put into EMS vehicles. I decided to put one in my 7.3 for an endurance test myself.
