Glow Plug Relay???

I have a E350 Custom Van. It has a 7.3L, aftermarket turbo with Gear vender OD. Love the van.

My question is sometimes when I am (cold) starting the van the glow plug light comes on just for a second and shuts off and I hear a clicking noise. Is this the reley? It does not happen all of the time. Just once and awhile. Especially if the truck has been sitting for a few days. I drive it weekly. (Had to cut back with Diesel prices, anyway that is another story.) Any help is greatly appreciated.
