Almost embarrassed to ask this?
so with out sounding total dense, do the new 6.7 have glow plugs? My 2019 superduty is a platinum and has a key fob and push button start. My GM when I turned key forward the glow plug symbol would come on for few seconds to wait before starting. So how does this work with push button start.

It’s computer controlled. All you have to do is step on the brake and push the button. Sometimes when it’s really cold you’ll see a message pop up that says “Start Pending” (or something like that) which is the computer doing what you used to have to do in older diesels when you waited for the glow plug indicator before starting. Coldest I’ve had my truck is 7 degrees (Fahrenheit) and it took 3 or 4 seconds to start.

If you'd like to start it the same way you did your GM truck all you have to do is hit the button without holding the brake then you can hold the brake and start. However, as mentioned above it isn't necessary to do so.

What do you all think is wrong? I went to start my 2017 F350 6.7 diesel yesterday, I had my foot on the brake message came on saying waiting to start, after about 2 seconds message said to push brake pedal. I pushed harder on the brake and tried a second and third time with the same results, push brake pedal to start. What's going on? I fully charged the batteries, just in case they were low, but had the same result. Ford roadside assistance towed it to the dealer under warranty.
