Glow plug relay

Having issues with truck not wanting to start below 50 degrees or so. Oil was really low so I just did a fresh oil change (wasn’t the issue but needed) the other day while the truck was running I noticed the nut for this wire on the GPR about to vibrate off.

need to find the correct size nut for it but could this prevent the GP from activating if the nut is not all the way tightened down?

any nut on the GPR loose will make an issue

Many of us went the Stancor relay route as it is much larger.
