A 6.5 Turbo Diesel engine typically has eight glow plugs, one for each cylinder. These glow plugs are essential for starting the engine, particularly in cold weather, as they help preheat the combustion chamber for more efficient ignition. Proper functioning of all glow plugs is crucial for optimal engine performance.

It doesn't have any spark plugs but it does have 8 glow plugs.
there are 8
8... there is one per cylinder
8 unless it is a diesel which has none.
Gas engine, none. Diesel, one per cylinder.
there are eight glow plugs.
A 6-cylinder diesel engine typically has six glow plugs, with one glow plug per cylinder. These glow plugs are used to preheat the combustion chamber, facilitating easier starting of the engine, especially in cold conditions. However, some engines may have additional glow plugs for improved performance or redundancy, but the standard configuration is one per cylinder.

Remove the intercooler, remove the wires, take out with 12mm ring spanner. A deep socket can be used on the two centre plugs but the end ones require a ring spanner. One of the modern ratchet type rings will be useful after the first 1/4 turn to loosen. Not as difficult as many people believe.
Diesel engines use heat and compression to ignite fuel. Although not needed in more modern diesel's many had glow plugs in a similar placement that is used to add the required heat for starting, but are not needed once at temperature. With higher injection pressures allowing a finer mist of fuel, thus requiring less heat and compression, glow plugs have largely been eliminated (but still have other heaters for cold weather starts.)
