So I picked up a circuit tester to test the ohm's be in the mean time, I replaced the broken relay. Didn't help anything. I did realize that the engine wont idle up when I accelerate in while in neutral either.

So I checked the ohm's. One of the glow point pins would not give any reading. the other 7 read fine. For some reason I did not get any readings on any of the pins for injectors. Am I using my meter wrong. Red wire to the pin I'm testing and black wire to any grounded metal? Or do I put the black wire from the meter to the center pin which is the neutral pin?

Ok, so I tested the pins for the injectors and the needle on my meter jumps over to 0 on all of them. Is that possible none of them would be working but truck still runs? I've gotta be doing something wrong.

Thanks for the info. I have decided pulling the valve covers is what needs to be done. I did see a video about using a temperature gun and testing the exhaust to see if one side has less heat than the other side, but eventually I'm gonna have to pull the valve covers and since I'm there, I might as well replace glo plugs and everything else.
