Your Ford dealer if full of it. Mine keeps them in stock under the Motorcraft brand. If you want, just order the Motorcaft plugs on-line from Rock Auto. $10 each. Go tof or 1986 or older:

I just bought some a few months ago at my local Ford dealer for $9 each. Motorcraft ZD1A or Ford #E5TZ12A342B. That's for an 1986 or older 6.9.
I suspect your Ford dealer is just a lazy, doesen't have them in stock and didn't feel like ordering them.
The Autolites and Champions are not even close to the original OEM quality, and far inferior to the latest like Motorcraft sells. Most of the new plugs now are "thermal limiting" and almost burn out proof.
Beru makes, by far, the best and only truly correct glow plug for the 6.9 and 7.3. Same for the GM 6.2s and 6.5s. That's why all the plugs that come from GM and Ford dealers now are Beru plugs put into their own boxes. Motorcraft and Delco are all reboxed Beru plugs.
