My truck starts up good but has almost 200k so I was going to replace the glow plugs and the ucvh while there but I'm Afraid that one glow plug will break off in the head or drop into the cylinder???

If it starts why do it?
Have you ohmed them out as well as checked the GPR?
Unless they are autolites, they shouldn't break off. If you start removing them and they feel really tight, then just stop and snug it back down.
