How many spark plugs does a diesel truck have?

I bought an old truck and might try to fix it up so that it can run. How many spark plugs should I get?

That sounds like a lot of fun! Here’s the thing, a diesel engine doesn’t have any spark plugs. This is because its process for combustion is different from gas-fueled cars. So the short answer is that you won’t need any!
Some other upgrades you can make to an old truck to improve its performance include:
  • Using diesel tuners to manage and improve the engine’s performance
  • Buying performance air filters
  • Installing cold air intakes
  • Upgrading the exhaust system
  • Upgrading to diesel fuel injectors
If you’re driving a diesel car (or any car, really) you should review your
