Do you need the glow plugs even in warm weather,I live in Texas.Are you supposed to use them upon cranking even in the summer? Or are they just for winter starts?

Although you should be able to start a diesel in warm weather, I burn the gps just out of force of habit. Unless you’ve got super compression it may be hard to start. I’ve got good compression but with almost 390,000 miles I figure doing a burn first is a good idea to help the engine out!
