The glow plugs usually either work correctly or not at all. We recently had an issue on a low hour truck and the relay was bad.

Just a fyi..
On the newer equipment, the glow (QGS) controller for the glow system is built into the VCM. Also, the newer trucks with the QD32 engine only use's one relay where as the older models used two.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
