The wierd thing is the one that was broke looked brand new, like it was
just installed not too long ago.

Kaleb,
I'm not much with electrical stuff, but I do know this: If one plug
broke, and another is shorted, and assuming they are all about the same
age, why not replace them all and be done with it for a while.
Otherwise, the one that is about to break will do the same thing in a
few months, etc.

On one of my SDL's I noticed it blew the glow plug fuse. I replaced
it, turned key on, it blew again. I checked all the glow plugs and
found one that was physically broken. I replaced it, same thing,
blew fuse again. I checked all the plugs again and the resistance on
all of them was the same. None checked bad with that test. So for
the time being I installed a heavy wire in place of the fuse. This
wire does heat up while the glow plugs are running. So whats the
deal? Could a glow plug be shorted? How would I check that? I dont
see any wires that look bad. Am I correct in assuming the problem is
between the relay and the plugs, or the lines connecting the 2?
Would a shorted plug show good on a resistance test?
