Mostly, failure is due to a direct short if not caused by bad glow plugs. The power stud is located very close to the body and can make contact to ground if your body mounts are compressed or have excessive body flex. Check for burn/arc marks close to where the controller is mounted. Also, use a GM controller, not the aftermarket ones, I don't have alot of faith in the aftermarket ones.
