Diesel Glow Plug Controller Boten Durable Module for Silverado

Description

Product Overview

The Boten diesel glow plug controller (model 97304030) is a precision‑engineered replacement module designed specifically for heavy‑duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. Constructed from high‑temperature‑resistant alloys, the housing endures the extreme heat generated by diesel engines during start‑up and operation. The internal circuitry utilizes a robust, corrosion‑protected substrate that safeguards against moisture, oil, and road‑salt exposure, ensuring long‑term reliability even in harsh climates.

Measuring just 2 x 2 x 2 inches and weighing only 1.6 ounces, the controller offers a compact footprint that fits seamlessly into the original mounting location. Its plug‑and‑play design eliminates the need for custom wiring or extensive modifications. The module is compatible with a range of part numbers including RY‑1556, RY1556, 68013182AA, A6421531979, 97304030, and 97379635, providing flexibility for owners who may have differing OEM references.

Key specifications include a voltage rating of 12 V, a current capacity of up to 10 A per glow plug, and a built‑in thermal protection circuit that automatically shuts down the module if temperatures exceed safe limits. The controller also features a built‑in resistance‑balancing system that helps maintain uniform glow plug performance across all cylinders, whether your engine has four, six, or eight cylinders.

Usage

This controller is ideal for a variety of real‑world scenarios. Whether you are navigating icy mountain passes, starting your truck on a frosty morning, or operating in a hot desert environment, the Boten module delivers reliable ignition power to each glow plug. It is particularly valuable for fleet operators who need consistent start‑up performance across multiple vehicles, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Installation is straightforward: disconnect the battery, remove the original module, and connect the Boten controller using the existing harness. For best results, verify that the resistance of each glow plug is within a close range before installation; this ensures the controller can balance the load effectively. The module’s corrosion‑resistant housing also protects against the abrasive effects of road salt, making it a smart choice for trucks that frequently travel on winter roads.

Because the controller monitors and regulates the temperature of each glow plug, it helps prevent premature wear, extending the service life of both the plugs and the engine’s combustion system. Drivers will notice smoother, quicker starts and reduced engine strain, especially during prolonged cold‑weather operation.

Why Choose Us

Choosing the Boten diesel glow plug controller means selecting a product backed by rigorous quality assurance processes.

FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with this controller?

The controller fits Chevrolet Silverado 2500 (2001‑2005), Silverado 3500 (2004‑2005), GMC Sierra 2500 (2001‑2004), Sierra 3500 (2004‑2005), and Chevrolet Tahoe (2005) models, as well as other trucks that use the listed part numbers.

Do I need to replace my glow plugs when installing this module?

No. The controller is designed to work with existing glow plugs, provided they are in good condition and have similar resistance values. It is recommended to check plug resistance before installation for optimal performance.

How does the thermal protection feature work?

The built‑in thermal sensor monitors the module’s temperature. If it exceeds a safe threshold, the controller automatically reduces power to prevent overheating, protecting both the controller and the glow plugs.

What warranty does Boten offer?

All Boten diesel glow plug controllers come with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, plus access to our technical support team for installation assistance and troubleshooting.

Can this controller be used on 8‑cylinder diesel engines?

Yes, the controller supports up to eight glow plugs. Ensure that the resistance of each plug is measured and matched before installation to achieve balanced performance.
