Check both big posts for voltage with key on and see if it is closing.

This is a brand new relay?

If you had a voltmeter you could look for voltage drop across the relay. Maybe short across big terminals on the relay with a screwdriver with someone in the cab to see if gauge goes down.

If it still doesn't do you know that you glowplugs are good?

I was just wondering what kind of voltage he had. He just said it was "hot".

You need a voltmeter to test further.
