glow plug help!!

[brad242]

When i bought the truck the glow plugs didnt work, and im pretty sure the controlers bad too. when i turn the key nothing happens. Ive never messed with the glow plugs ive used starting fluid to start the truck which i know is bad. But i dont have to after it warms up. Anyone have a idea what i need to do thanks.
