What glow plugs should I include with my package? I have pretty much everything else covered, with the exception of fuel, so any advice on what fuels to use would be appreciated. ((i am being stationed in northern NY, so what should i equip the truck with for cold weather?[10F to -45f]))

Any help/advice would be highly appreciated

+1 to read the manual.

Top add, depending on the nitro% you are going to be running is how you determine what plug to use. Low % (20 and under) you want a hot-med plug. The higher you in nitro% go you want to use a colder plug. Im not sure on what length plug to use though.

Remember, cool weather requires a richer tune, hot/warmer weather needs a leaner tune.
