Yes we swapped the GPs with those Bosch 5V and didn't reprogram anything so running at 7V. 3 of them were still working well when we replaced them, and they were also the Bosch 5V. That's why I'm thinking it's something else than the GPs.
Any input on my previous reply, included here below again:

So bottom line, would you say that if the glow plugs have been replaced, and the Jeep still struggles or can't start in cold weather, the next step would be to look at the module / relay? And because it's so complex, I would need to swap it out to see if it addresses the issues ?
Other thing I'm thinking about that could be faulty is the coolant temp sensor that then tells the ECM what to do. There isn't another temp sensor linked to the GP module and ECM is there?
See my original post earlier in this threat that lists all the sensors that the ECM uses to control the GP module.
The ECM is looking at
several inputs to determine how long and how much current flow is required.
So if any of the sensors that the ECM uses for GP module operation are not providing an accurate reading/signal, it could greatly impact GP heating cycles and thus cranking performance.
If you could find someone with a scope, they could see how well the GP module is performing by graphing the time and voltage duty cycles being outputted to the GPs.
or
Replace the GP module with a known good module or a new one. But this still would not tell you if the problem is an issue with the control coming from the ECM and all the ancillary inputs it uses for determining GP operation.
IDParts sales new GP modules.
