why does my truck start soooo good? seriously..
So what's up with my truck that this 256k mile truck will start in 10* weather without even cycling the grid heater, stone cold, quicker than my 132k mile 7.3 that's been ran all day in 70* weather and had the glows cycled? I cannot believe how disguistingly fast this truck starts. The throttle response on this 12v is so damn crisp and responsive too. The only thing is the cummins puffs whit smoke at startup and sometimes black but it clears up after a few secs
|
The 7.3 uses a much less effective heating method than a cummins. Also anything with mechanical injection is going to start easier than one with a HEUI injection system. With HEUI the injectors need to see at least 30lbs oil press to fire them.
|
oh I suppose that makes sense. But even w/out cycling the grids on the cummins this truck starts FAST. Very fast. As in it MIGHT make one revolution before kicking over.
|
Because it doesn't need to sense oil press. That can be a bad thing though. If a HEUI system looses oil press the truck will shutoff this can be a saving grace from a catastrophic failure.

Been telling you Ford guys for a long time what truck is better - not many of you listen though...

hahaha smarty. Hey i'll tell you what my 7.3 6spd with just an intake exhaust and disconnected wg would run CIRCLES around this cummins. Mileage is suffering too but I think its due to a bad cat and fuel filter :\ Sorry, couldnt help myself. Constructive criticism not brand bashing....lol lol |

Yeah, but when you are finally done the Cummins will be twice the HP and half the cost of the bombed Ford...:w2:

Timing is a little low. Bump the timing up and starting will become harder and mileage will go up.
