Yes. I have them, and use them. Over 6 years and not a bad one in the bunch. Fast heat, quick starts. Nuff said.

Yeah I just put a set of the Kennedy Quick Heats in my 95.

The fastest starts, no smoke, since I've had the truck.

0 def F this morning, fired right up, not plugged in.

Last year with the AC60's it woulda smoked like mosquito control.

I put Bosch glowplugs in my truck 3 yrs ago. No issues but not happy with winter starts. If i had to do it again I would go with Kennedy's plugs.
