GPR question

My '97 7.3L has been cranking longer than it should to start. Last week I broke down got towed needed new starter, It was due for a fuel filter change and air filter change so I did those. I'm sure I have the original Glow Plug Relay so I'm gonna replace that next. If the GPR isn't working properly would that explain why it's sometimes difficult starting ? The wait to start light goes off quickly because it's in the 60's, but if the GPR isn't working would that affect how the engine starts?
