glow plug relay switch

Anyone ever replace it with a manual hold down button for engergizing the glow plugs?
Mine is toast as it`s coming on for only afew seconds before going off according to the dash display. That`s not near long enough for this cilmate and the truck takes too long to start.

Do a search for manual glow plugs. Dave Sponaugle has pictures of the 6.9 relay and the 7.3 relay (for which ever one you may have). His instructions are really good and clear. They helped me install my manual button last week.
