Default Code PO380 needs cleared to pass smog

Hi all, First post. My computer has the code PO380 in it on my 2003 2500 HD. I have replaced all my glow plugs even though I only found 4 that were bad. My mechanic friend says I need to replace my glow plug relay, so I bought it but could not find the location to replace it. Every thing I read said it is on top of the left valve cover at the back. There is a glow plug controller there but no relay. If you check parts for my vehicle it should have the relay and not the controller which is shown for the 2003 year.

I just want to pass smog and get on with my life. The truck runs fine and always starts, so I don't care about the code but the state of california does and it needs to be cleared prior to bringing it in for the smog check. Any help would be appreciated.

Mike
