Sounds like you have a California truck if it is reporting glow plugs. Are your codes PO672 and PO674?

Short answer, #2 and #4 glow plugs are being reported a bad. Only a cali truck will the PCM even see a problem with the glow plug circuit. Where we have a simple relay you have a module that does the same thing as the relay but reports each individual glow plug that does not draw at least 20 amps. A new glow plug will draw at minimum 20 amps. Not so simple of a diagnosis for the other 49 state trucks. Your lucky on this one.
