GLow Plug Help

Hello gentlemen, I need a little clarification if you can help me.

Recently my truck has gotten the infamous white smoke. It still starts on the first try but smokes a little for about 2 minutes(if that). So, I just went out and ohmed them. This is what I got.

Drivers side: .9-1.5
Passenger side: two of them ohmed at .7 and other two at .8

I am thinking that I do in fact have 2 bad ones. I am going to replace them all anyways but just want to make sure I am correct in my thinking.
Also I did check voltage on GPR and it drops to 10.5 until my light goes out (around 2 minutes).

While I have the valve covers off I plan to do the torque checks and 50cent mod. Not that I am having any problems, just seems its a good opportunity to do it.
