Not sure. Have not checked yet. I’d think even with good glow plugs if it had worn compression it wouldn’t start as easy. There was a 7.3 powerstroke with about 380k on it that was a work truck for a construction company. It would barely start in 80 degrees. Took about 5 minutes to get it to start. It had good glow plugs but was heavily used. I hated starting that truck.
