Soooo, I could have sworn I updated you guys about the SES. I can't find my post so I'll do it again. 
Today I was headed out to the smog place to have my Ex smogged because I had traveled over 50 but not 100 miles and the check engine light had not come back on. Of course, the minute I turned the corner, on it came. So when I got to the smog place he plugged in the code reader and it said P1396 Glow Plug Module Fault.
So what now? I don't believe my Ex is a California model but I have yet to do a visual to determine whether I have a Relay or a Module, as I understand we have one or the other. Is this a magical mystery tour type thing?

Sorry auto correct. That was suppose to be the codes.
As far as whether if you have a relay or module, I believe all excursions came with a glow plug control module regardless if they were a California emissions or not.

No such thing as a California model for 7.3L powered Excursions, they are all the same, unlike the F-series truck which does have a California emissions compliant model.
All 7.3L powered Excursions came with a GPCM, which that code is indicating you need to replace.
It's easily done, and it's located here:

Since you're in SoCal and probably don't wanna wait for shipping, run over to Sunrise Ford in Fontana and grab one for $132.50, which is about the same discounted price you'd find at Tousely.

Where are you finding it for $94 bucks? Is it OEM or aftermarket?
