97 PSD Glowplug problems

I have a 1997 PSD truck. i am having trouble in the cold starting it. The glowplug relay was changed yesterday and the amp gauge is still not holding down showing the plugs are working when I start it.

It looks like you're in for a few hours of fun changing out the glow plugs. The biggest pain is getting the rear valve cover bolts off. Otherwise it really isn't too bad. The local Ford place had the glow plugs for $25, the International truck place had them for $18, but I bought them at NAPA for $12.
