Do glow plugs shutoff after 2 minutes?

Max, I have been meaning to see if it does this when I start it with the key. All that I stated above happens after being remote started. It does restart all by itself after it stalls without any intervention from me.........

If the truck has been plugged in, it doesn't have this trouble. I think the reason it automatically restarts is because the "remote start timeout timer" hasn't expired yet. As far as over rev goes, I have verified that it shuts down if the "engine exceeds twice the normal idle speed."
Does anyone know how long the glow plugs remain on after the engine has started? Could it be proportional to the outside temp? It seems to stall after the same amount of time, each time it stalls.
