Do you think based by my measurement that the GPCM is the culprit then?

Did you do some wiggling of the harness?
But it does look like that may be the problem.
When it comes to OPM I am not like some people
and just spend,spend,spend. BTW : OPM is Other Peoples Money.

The GPCM have arrived.
I disconnected the battery so the code would clear while I was replacing the GPCM.
After replacing it, I hooked the battery back up and took it for a short test drive, the service light never came back on again.
Hopefully that fixes it.
Thank you everyone who posted inputs and feedback!!!

It been almost a month now and the code still have not returned so it look like it was the GPCM that was throwing the code.
I measured the ohm on the old glow plug that I replaced and it gave a good ohm reading.
So lesson I learned from this, next time I get a glow plug code ...... Check the ohms from glow plug harness first
