Glow plugs seemed pointless until my rig froze solid

I always skipped checking them since our winters are mild. One morning, the engine just cranked and wouldn't fire up. It turned out the plugs were so worn they drained the battery trying to heat. A buddy helped me replace them, and it started right away. Now I see they're a small part that can cause big headaches.

Heard mechanics say worn plugs can wreck your starter motor too.

My friend's starter died from worn plugs, @coleperry.
