I find their parts to be of lesser quality then OE parts. I have bought glow plugs from them but Bosch is Bosch. The only Autozone part I have on the SDL is the AC condensor, but that is a non critical part. It has a lifetime warranty and is pretty easy to change.

Hatterasguy,

I'm impressed with AZ's lifetime warranty on parts and tools. But I have not yet had to return any parts or tools, so I don't know how well the warranty works when needed.

A good strong battery and deep capacity, new glow plugs, valve adjustment and synthetic oil and a good block heater will get you going in a pinch.

Gotta give the 300cd a glow plug test one of them is not up to snuff. Man I hate cold weather.

Well, reading this thread I think it's not all that bad with my starting problems. So far the longest I had to crank was about 20secs before it fired...
