Maybe, If the glowplugs stay on they can be damaged or destroyed. When you get into the unit the start sequence is: Controller tells the glow plug relay to send power to the glow plugs. The length of time is set by an engine temperature sensor. If the relay is stuck then the glow plugs will stay on during engine operation. This will kill them pretty quickly. I'd bet on the relay being stuck (welded closed) A bad system controller Or leaking injectors, on some engines leaky onjectors can cause glow plug failure. You don't state make and model so one cannot be sure about the last comment.

Where are glow plugs located on a 7.3 diesel engine?
The Glow plugs on a 7.3 Diesel International are located at the top of the intake manifold. There is 1 plug for each of the 8 cylinders and each plug will have a single wire connected to the top of it.These 8 wires go into a harness which leads toward the rear of the engine where you will find the "Glow Plug Controller". The engine I am refering to is a 1988 model, however, I would think a 7.3 is a 7.3. The Glow Plug controller has been a source of trouble on mine but check the plugs first.
