I just read this post by my friend @LeslieTroyer. It may give you an idea for your project. I watched it work last weekend. Very cool.

My current plans are to remove the glow plug switch and replace it with a time delay off connected to the IGN Sw. Then use the old Glow plug wire to drive a LED lamp at the panel showing glow plugs on (glow plug relay 78). Then a relay driven by the Glow plug 78 relay to 85 and 30-78a goes between switched power and alarm power.
The result of this is the glow plugs will come on with power. I won’t have to count seconds to start as the buzzers will start once the glow plugs time out. (Or listen to buzzers when glow plugs are on). Much like old Volvo’s worked. My glow plug life might be reduced by 10% but they are cheap and I can always start the engine before they time out if it is hot.
