Hello! The cylinder order on the 6.6L diesel engine in your vehicle is as follows: 1, 3, 5, 7 are on the driverside, with 1
being the front of the engine and 7 the rear. 2, 4, 6, 8 are on the passenger
side 2 in the front and 8 is all the way back. #4 Glow Plug is therefore on the passenger side second one back counting from the front...

Is the battery in a good condition, it a diesel engine? If so the glow plugs would be the first point of call. Check for power at the glow plug main wire feed, if you have power there then a wiring fault can be ruled out. If not check your glow plug relay and associated wiring. If you have power, I think from memory its only 11 volts, remove the power balance rod that runs across the top of your glow plugs. Then remove the glow plugs and connect them across a battery hold the threaded body of the glow plugs and the negitive terminal and use a piece of wire to connect the small fine threaded end to the positive terminal on the battery. The glow plug should glow a hot bright red within a few seconds of being connected. If it doesnt it is faulty. 1 faulty glow plug puts strain on the other glow plugs. Id replace all 4 if any are faulty. I hope this helps.

P0380 - Glow Plug/Heater Circuit "A" Malfunction Bad glow plug. The glow plug system is used to assist in providing the heat required to begin combustion during cold engine temperatures. The glow plugs are heated before and during cranking, as well as initial engine operation. The engine control module (ECM) controls the glow plug ON times by monitoring coolant temperature and glow plug voltage. The California Glow Plug system has eight individual glow plug supply circuits between the controller and the glow plugs. If the feedback voltage from the controller to the ECM is not within range, DTC P0380 will set.
- The glow plugs are commanded OFF and the glow plug feedback is more than 2 volts. or - The glow plugs are commanded on and the glow plug feedback is not between 5 volts and 6.2 volts.
Keep in mind that the "wait to start" light only comes on while the
voltage is dropping in that circuit. This should only take 3-5 sec's. If
it takes longer, refer to your "Likely problem" you listed above. That
would be the Heater Module. If your glo plugs stay on, your batteries
would be dead in no time. If any of your plugs go bad, they would each
be listed on the reader per cyl 1-8. If you need to change the Module,
P1316 - Injector Circuit / IDM Codes Detected. This code indicates that codes are stored in the IDM
Possible causes are as follows: - Injector(s) or circuit(s) - Open or shorted IDM enable circuit - Open/short in EF circuit - Open/short in FDCS circuit - IDM relay - IDM powering circuits - Failed IDM - Failed PCM
Check your Injector Driver Module wires, circuits 821 (Brown/Orange) and 818 (Grey/White) between the PCM and IDM. On the IDM side, the connector pin numbers are 17 for circuit 821, and pin 4 for circuit 818. You should check for high resistance in that circuit, short to ground, or open circuits. If wiring checks out good, you may need to replace your IDM. It's not uncommon for water intrusion into the module, due to its mounting location. Also check the engine wiring harness where it routes up over the driver side shock and/or driver side valve cover. That code is either a key-on/engine-off or a continuous memory code.
glow plug light and glow plug are not on same system
check at gow plug conection (top of valve cover both side
follow from relay front valve vover right side silver box)
power 12 volts on all 4 wires in both conector left and right
if not replace relay if 12 volts relay ok (test light clip on ground)
then check glow plug (test light clip on positive ) touch wires going
to glow plug should light up if ok (quick test ) if any fail replaced
if all seems ok look at the oil injection system most common
problem with these motors I have yet to replaced a glow plug or relay
The diagram is simple each glow plug is connected in a series circuit like this -0-0-0-0-0-0-0 that's a in-line 6 for a V-8 it would look like this
[-0-0-0-0
[-0-0-0-0
and the plugs would be hooked up on the back then if you follow the wire to the glow plug relay you will find that the relay has four wires one to battery one to the glow plugs one to the ignition switch and one to ground in the box. If you want you can purchase a manual for 5.99 on-line. and it covers the three fuse-able links for this system and the new Glow plugs available for this truck here is the web page. http://www.wiring-diagram.com/?gclid=CMuAvJ3Ql58CFQZfagod0jpAxQ
Check up glow plugs (4 pieces) and glow plug relay placed inside left bottom area near clutch pedal. It is no.4 relay from left to right. Verify also all electrical cables. In most cases the glow plug relay is out of order.
The wait to start light always comes on for at least 1 sec, if it goes off early it must think the engine is warm.
My guess is you have a faulty engine oil temp sensor that is telling the pcm that it is already warm. The only way to know for sure is to read the info with a scan tool.
Glow Plug System: Description and Operation
GLOW PLUG SYSTEM
The 6.0L diesel engine uses a glow plug system that preheats air in the combustion chamber to improve cold engine starting.
The system consists of:
- glow plugs.
- glow plug control module.
- powertrain control module (PCM).
- engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor.
- barometric pressure sensor (BARO sensor).
The glow plug monitor system is part of the On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II) System.
The glow plug system is electronically controlled by the powertrain control module. If the oil temperature is below 55°C (131°F) the powertrain
control module will energize the glow plugs immediately after the key is placed in the ON position. Then, depending on the readings from the engine
oil temperature (EOT) sensor and the barometric pressure (BARO) sensor, the powertrain control module determines how long the glow plugs will be
on.
The glow plugs are located in the cylinder heads, under the glow plug buss bar.
The glow plugs are self-regulating. If the engine oil temperature is above 55°C (131°F), the powertrain control module will bulb-check the WAIT TO
START lamp but not energize the glow plug relay.
The glow plug ON time varies from 0-120 seconds depending on battery voltage, engine oil temperature and barometric pressure.
The glow plug control monitor (GPCM) system is designed to find failed glow plugs or failed wiring in the glow plug system.
