I didn't think so... i have read how on fords the glow plugs caused issues in the cylinders. seems like Ram's design with the grid heater is a better way.. especially if most the time you just cycle the grid eater 2-3 times.
As a side note, if anyone is in a reasonably cold environment the Ford PSD tends to eat DEF heaters like skittles.
My friend with a 2011 6.7 has had the heater fail each of the last 3 winters. DEF freezes at something like 17 degrees or thereabouts (at least that is what they told him) and in northern VT we call 17 degrees "October"......
These failed so often that two winters ago there was a national shortage of the part and his work rig sat for 3 weeks which cost him thousands in jobs he couldn't get to.
