Seems to be pretty common. I have heard that sometimes if you have a glow plug go out that it can cause a short in the the harness, somethen to do with feedback or somethen.

They do go out but not on a regular basis. But the glow plugs take a lot of voltage, which will over time cause the wiring harness to fail. This is one of the very few faults with our trucks.
