Theres no way around it..and glow plugs arent expensive... just make sure to get the MotoCraft plugs!!

instead of buying glow plugs,you plug in the block heater for now. Do you think there might be air in the fuel sytem? does any smoke come out of the pipe when your trying to start it?

Plug in the block heater, and use a heat gun in the intake while cranking, even a hair drier wil help, anything to bring up the intake temps of the combustion chamber. And use a test light to do a continuity test of the GPs to see if they are in fact shot.
