on top of the injection pump is a big wire plug and with the switch on it should be hot.also plug in the truck for a couple hours it will help if the block heater is working

Beru glow plugs are around 10 dollars each at Autozone. Please specify Beru plugs.

If you go that route the controller is around 170 dollars at Ford.

You can also put a manual switch button on the relay to heat the glowplugs for about 5 dollars.

The reason I asked if it was a manual, you could give it a pull to start it and see how it ran before spending any dollars on it.
