If you feel the need to go the manual route, install AC DELCO 60G's or Bosch dual-coil glow plugs. They heat up a bit slower than the 10-Volt Gp's originally used, but WILL NOT overheat and burst and break off, and get jammed into the top of a piston like the original GP's do, if cycled "ON" for a few seconds too much. As a matter of fact, in one test, AC Delco 60's withstood being "ON" for 8 HOURS straight, without a failure.
Quite a few of us 6.2 diesl "diehards" have gone the 60G or other dual-coil GP route, then installed an 1984 and up electronic GP conroller over on the fender skirt, away from engine heat. Then, it will even give the GP's a quick cycle when the engine is lukewarm, GREATLY aiding starting and reducing smoke at startup.
That is how the GP's behave on the electronically controlled 1994 and up 6.5 TD's, and it's a real benefit to starting.
There is a way to add a resistor to the GP controller's feedback circuit to increase "ON time", if needed.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
