Starting issues?or not!

I have a 2001 F350 7.3l 4dr dually..Lately when starting in morning or after 9-10 hours of sitting..In 80 deg weather.It will rev up and down for 5 seconds before smoothing out.it also did this a handful of times over winter...Just this week I decided to plug it in at night to see what happens?
Seems to be fine if I plug it in..Wierd?Or am I just a rookie?
Could it be a glow plug prob?And is there and easy way to check?
I also run diablo programmer on the 60hp setting..

Also since I am askin questions, I also noticed when towing my trailer up north that I heard a slight chattering comming from left front drivers side (engine compartment)..Only when going up hill under load..Didnt seem to loose power.
Well mabe a little? I did notice if I floored it that the PSI seemed to drop from 25 or so to 20???

Thanks in advance
Rick Seriino
