Default HELP! Glow plug relay

Hi everyone. I need some help. I am in NC and need to be in IL by friday. I am having what i believe to be a glow plug relay problem. Firstly, I drive a 94 GMC 3500 with a manual trans, 6.5 turbo. I am getting no glow plug light, and no glow. It went out kinda over night. I cannot find the part anywhere in town and am getting desperate. It has started kinda randomly twice, but i dont think its a ground. (or at least not one i can find) And the GP fuse under the dash is fine and i dont think there is one under the hood. Someone on another thread said something about a way to bypass this? Could anyone elaborate? Or a way to get it started once or twice just to get me home until i can get the relay? ANY help would be appreciated! Thank you very much in advance.

-Josh
