Glow Plugs?

Hey Guy's,
I have 2000 ford F-350 dually with the 7.3 diesel engine. Lately I have had to plug up the engine heater in order for it to start on cold mornings, the glow plugs don't seem to be working properly! Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Derekaw,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.
We deal with 1994 and older diesels here, I was going to move your post to the 1999 to 2003 Power Stroke forum where you would get help from people with your engine.
But you do not have email or private messages enabled, so I did not move it.

I see you are from WV, stop down in the WV chapter and say hello to the rest of the state.
Here is a link to the WV state chapter of FTE.
