ok think i got it figured out.
im only getting a reading from 3 and there like .7, .7, and .8
the rest dont do anything just staying at 1 on my meter as if i did nothing.
what does that mean?
if there bad why would over half just go bad in 3 hours?

Here's how it all started.

Well like yesterday morning plugged in went out started right up then went to work. 3 hours later go out to go to subway and cranked and cranked 10-20 mobs nothing so then put diesel 911 in it. Btw it was 10* and with windchill -15 and I was parked with the front of the truck being hit by the wind. 3 hours layer got off buddy came by still wouldn't start towed me to the gas station to put more diesel nothing then bought ether and sprayed a little while cranking started up. Then this morning was difficult even plugged up and same with after work but wasn't plugged up then.
I just wouldn't thing glow plugs would go out in 3 hours, it's always started great then yesterday it started being an ass. Lol

its a resister essentially so theres no rhyme or reason as to what makes them go bad. according to that link anything from .08-1.2ohms is good, over or under is not good, check your gpr.

If they don't say Beru on the glow plug. Don't by them. There are some vendors here that have glow plugs at a really good price.
