It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1982-1984 Chevrolet C10, 1982-1984 Chevrolet C20 and 1982-1984 Chevrolet C20 Suburban; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Signs this part may need replacing: hard starting when the engine is cold, extended cranking before it fires, heavy white smoke at a cold start, or glow plugs that do not heat as they should. Those symptoms can also come from the glow plugs, the wiring or other parts. Diagnose the cause first; if a failed controller is the cause, the TX42 replaces it.
