Oil Change
well treated the engine to some new oil, shell rotella t sb 0-40 and a new fuel filter should be good now for the rest of winter so bring on the cold!:U:

My old truck hates the cold. Only -2 this am and it won't fire. Ever since I advanced the timing, this thing won't start for sh__ in the cold. I think I need to change from
15W to 5W and see if I can get more life out of this thing. |
run the preheat cycle more than once
|
I do that too. New batteries too. There's a newer dodge, 06 or so, in the lot that turns right over...like a gasser. Makes me ill
|
ya but there is nothing better than hearing that diesel purr
|
Don't ever get that cold down in S. Texas
|
well than you dont have to worry about it now do ya :ph:
|
You need to reset your timing and then use 5w30 HDD. Mine turns over real nice with he 5w30 HDD in it even when it was -24 below a few weeks back :c:
|
I thnk so. He never told me where they set it but I don't like the way it starts. I'm going with the 5W-40 next time. Try the new stuff I guess.
