It's most likely your glow plug relay rather than the plugs themselves. I've replaced 2 GPR's and both became intermittent before the completely failed. You might want to read the hard start/gpr/glowplugs sticky post at the top of this page.

The first one was genuine Motorcraft replacement from powerstrokeshop.com for about $66 shipped to my door.
The second one was NAPA gpr109 for about $17.

Your motor is still under warranty if you don't have 100000 miles on it. It is usually a 100.00 deductible
