Compatibility / Fitment:

Fits Ford 6.0L Power Stroke engines built on or after September 22, 2003:

• F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty: most 2004 and all 2005–2007 models
• E-350 and E-450 Super Duty vans: 2004–2010
• Excursion: 2004–2005

Some early 2004 model-year vehicles have engines built before 9/22/03, so check your engine build date rather than relying on model year.

Hard fitment gate — engine build date: This is the shorter 6.0L glow plug, for engines built on or after 9/22/03, when Ford updated the piston combustion bowl. Engines built before that date, including all 2003 and some early 2004 model-year vehicles, use the longer glow plug, Motorcraft ZD-12 (Ford 3C3Z-12A342-AA). Do not install the longer plug in a later engine. It can contact the piston and cause severe engine damage. The build date is on the engine or the driver's door label.

Second gate — 6.0L only: This glow plug fits the 6.0L Power Stroke only. It does not fit:

• the 6.4L Power Stroke (2008–2010 F-Series Super Duty)
• the 6.7L Power Stroke (2011 and later)
• the earlier 7.3L Power Stroke

Those engines use different glow plugs.

Quantity note: This listing is for one glow plug. The 6.0L uses eight, one per cylinder. If one has failed, the others are often close behind, so many technicians replace all eight at once.

Common interchanges: 80043, ZD-13, ZD-32, 4C3Z-12A342-AA, 4C3Z-12A342-AB, 97190, 1843286C1, 1843286C2

Conclusion:

A genuine Bosch 0250212007 glow plug for Ford 6.0L Power Stroke engines built on or after 9/22/03, in the 2004–2007 F-Series Super Duty, the 2004–2010 E-Series, and the 2004–2005 Excursion. It replaces Motorcraft ZD-13. Confirm your engine's build date before ordering, and note it doesn't fit the later 6.4L or 6.7L engines.
