Glow Plug Circuit codes- all 8

Haven't found this specific problem in searches, so- recently been throwing codes for all 8 cylinders at once for Glow Plug Circuit, and sometimes it doesn't want to fire when cold. I can clear the codes, and they come right back, key on engine off, without SES coming on, if started, SES lights. Since all 8 come at once, would seem that the GPCM would be a good starting point? I have access to another GPCM to swap out for a test. Top of the engine and connectors are clean, hasn't been wet etc., otherwise runs great. Best test procedure? I have an AE scanner, just getting started with it. 2001 F350 4x4 dually 7.3 auto, CA non-catalyst
Thanks

Most likely it is your GPCM.

Here is the manual for troubleshooting.

Second the motion on the GPCM, they don't just all go out at once...

Ran the KOER Glow Plug test in AE, got a funny one, P1397 Variable Valve Timing Solenoid B Circuit Low Input?
Also in KOEO, got a P0605 Internal Control Module ROM Error

Gonna borrow my buddy's spare GPCM, gotta get a smog check

To further Ken's point:

-All Diesel Excursions have California Emissions which means a GPCM
-Superduties built with California Emissions have a GPCM also.
-The 6.0 came standard with a GPCM no matter where you bought it

Just to clarify, the early 99 CA trucks have a Glow Plug Relay not a module.
