Yes, the Chevy 2500 does have glow plugs. In a diesel engine like the one found in the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, glow plugs are used instead of spark plugs. Glow plugs help with the starting process by heating up the combustion chamber to ensure proper ignition of the fuel-air mixture. This is especially important in colder weather when diesel engines can have difficulty starting. The Chevy 2500 HD uses glow plugs from trusted brands such as GM Genuine Parts and Autolite.
