Yes they do... they're right between the containment beam generators and the electro-pneumatic high powered switching module! DUH

NO NO NO... The Johnson rod is just to the left of them... beside the flux capacitor.

Yeap. Glow plugs are for cold starts and they also have oil warmers because diesels use much thicker oil than cars do and when it gets cold the oil has a tendency to get harder than most, so you pull the plug out of the front grill and plug it into a wall socket and there you have it. My second vehicle was a 1990 ford F350 4 door dually with the 6.9L diesel.

Doesnt answer my question though, if lower octane burns better, than why does reg gas (87oct) ignite from throwing a match in a small cup of gas, but with diesel (40oct) you must hold a torch to it to ignite it.

Random fact for the night. Thanks guys - Now i feel good about filling up with 87 octane this morning
I've been doing it for years...just add some gas treatment ever other tank fill up and you'll be just fine...
