  When looking at the washer-like part, just beneath the buss bar
threads, on the glow plug, note the color:
Silver is slow
Brass is fast
  You'd need the part number off of the relay or cycle it through, with the
temp sensor connected but not the plugs, to be safe.  Slow will click
off in about 40 seconds and fast in 15 to 20.  Anybody have the actual
times on those?
