Always like success.

I'd go onto RiffRaft diesels site and order up the Motorcraft one now just to have on hand

That is a good relay, you need to test the glow plugs if you haven't already.

I'd also check just how long that the relay is staying on for.

I know that I have over 4 bad glow plugs and when I started my truck up this morning at a -4 it did a lot of argueing and smoked in a parking lot. But once the engine started I ran the RPM's up to 1500 and held it there for a couple of minutes. I drove for around a quarter mile and while my partner was getting some coffee I ran the RPM's back up for a few minutes until the cylinders were hot enough that it quit smoking.

I'll get the plugs replaced this spring

If the PCM isn't controlling the GPR correctly you can always add a pushbutton to supply the ground.

In stock form the PCM keeps the GPR on for up to 90 seconds to burn off excessive carbon that is deposited on cold starts.
