Does Ford 6.7 diesel have glow plugs?

Yes, the Ford 6.7 diesel engine does have glow plugs.
Glow plugs are used in diesel engines to heat the air inside the combustion chamber during cold starts. This helps facilitate the ignition of the fuel-air mixture. The Ford 6.7 diesel engine is equipped with glow plugs to aid in starting the engine, especially in colder temperatures .
It’s worth noting that the glow plugs in the Ford 6.7 diesel engine are part of a “fast start glow plug system” that provides virtually instant heating in warmer weather. As the temperature decreases, the length of the heating cycle may increase, but it is unlikely that you will have to wait as long as with previous engine models.
