What brand glow plugs do you have in there?
Have you checked the GP's with a multi-meter?
One day, when I was having issues starting, it was like 90degrees and my truck would not start.
Had Autolite GP's in there and one of them burst and tip broke off.
Truck would not start till I replaced the GP's (ZD9's)
You should start with the simplest and cheapest things that may be the problem...as that's what it usually is.

glow plugs have nothing to do with it's starting ability at any time other than first start of the day, or long shut off times during cold weather. If the controller is working wright it should not even turn the glows on if the engine temps are high enough.
in mid 70*F - mid 80*F weather my truck can sit for 7hrs and it will start just fine without glow plugs.
