Will they start from cold with no glow plugs? Inquiring minds want to know. Hatterasguy says his will. When's the test?

Mine sure wouldn't start w/o GP's. After a new relay and 6 new plugs she fired up beautifully.

Any diesel will start without glow plugs, it just takes muuuuch longer. When I first bought my old 300SD, all the glow plugs were shot, and it would take a couple of minutes of solid cranking before it would fire up (the starters on these cars must be EXTRA heavy duty!).

An 80's vintage Yanmar 220D tractor I had would start w/out glow plugs. The glow cycle was for winter starting according to the owners manual. It also had a manual compression release so you could spin the engine faster during cold starting.
