testing GPR & GP

[TNCMSA]

I'm having trounble during cold weather starts 15-40 deg (if i plug it up no trouble) 00 7.3
i've read on here how 2 test the GPR &GP & this is what i've got
GPR hot side reads 12V with key off...with key on it reads 11.2V & other side reads 10.70V is that common? some say a .2 drop from side to side says it is going bad I

GP I couldn't get the VC plug off but my meter has has needle points so i was able to just poke through the wire coating to get readings...2 of them read .8 6 of them read .6-.7 & the other 2 read .4....I'm thinking @ that rate 2 are bad

any help will be greatly appreciates!!!!

Where di you find out how to test it? I have a 03 7.3lL. I am not sure that the glow plugs are working. I replaced the plugs last year. If the truck sits for 24 hours unplugged with the temp below 30 degs. it will not crank.

i typed in "how to test glow plugs" in the search box in the top right hand corner of the page & it brought up several threads about it & just searched till I found the right one...but basically there is a wiring harness on the top of each valve cover that goes inside the VC...unplug it and the 2 outter most studs (my wires are brown going into the harness)on each side of each harness are the GP wires & you test them with a muliti meter.. hope that helps.....i've not been having much luck getting people to respond to my questions

Can't imagine this was hard to find....

Thanks for your help. I tested like it said and had no voltage.
