i just wonted to douple check. do you guy it might help it start up better. 2 dat ago it took about 45 seconds to fire up and was in the 40s yesterday it fired up as soon as the wait to start light turned off as soon as i turned the turned the key and the starter turn over once it was running. it was awsome . i noticed the glow end were messed when i was testing the glow plugs

i got them all fix now but im still have a problem its harder than ever to statr up. i checked for fuel leaks and there wasnt any. so after 2 days of dealing with hard starts i decided to plug it in all night then it fired up instatly. so found out that it has to be the gp system. so took all of the bullit conectors off the gp and test the volts going to the gp they all had 11.45 volts. the glow plugs still tested good with a test light.so i thinking there geting weak. does all of this info sound right?

Might be that, might be fuel system problems - you bump any return lines while working? How clean were the wires you crimped onto?
You can test how wore a glowplug is by measuring resistance, but you'd have to know the resistance range of a 'good' one too
I think a worn injection pump will be hard to start when cold, and then seals up better when warm. But I'm not sure on that... I know the other symptons/signs but wasn't sure about this one ^
