Glow pluge are used today on pickups EVEN when they are direct injected. Why? Because once started the glow plugs keep cycleing on and off to make less emissions!! Examples of this are the Chevy Duramax, and Ford/IH power stroke. Direct injected engines do start easier, and all bigger tractors are direct injection, small diesels like are in compact tractors are indirect injected. To help direct injected engines start in very cold temps., they sometimes use a kit to squirt a small bit of ether into the intake manifold. Also a "single" glowplug is sometimes used in the intake manifold to heat a few drops of fuel to vaporize it. Another way, is to have a "heater grid" in the intake, so the engine sucks heated air in as it cranks. CJ
