hard start
 

my 99 7.3 wont start if i let i sit outside over night even pluged in, but if i put it in the garage it starts just fine and the garage is just about as cold as lettin it sit outside:humm: any sugustions on what it could be.

batteries going dead? sounds like the batteries are weak after the wind hitting em all night long, cause u have to have so much oil pressure to get fuel to injectors, if your truck isnt cranking fast enough you wont reach the 300 or so oil psi

its got two brand new bateries in it. i thought that to but it didnt help, the block heater heats it up in the garage but not when i leave it out side.

weak glow plugs, or glow plug relay? getting to cold and the glow plugs not able to heat up enough? the cold wind could cause problems, it sucks

thats what i thought im going to change them tomorow, what kind would you sujust

ive asked and people say there aint no better than the stock motorcraft glow plugs, they arent cheap tho, around here there 12 a piece, i ordered mine, im low on money so i did research and i found out that diesel rx are almost the exact same they heat up to 800 degrees, they run less than 10 a piece

thanks for the info. i apriciate it its a pain when you have to go some where and your truck dont want to start.

yup i know how that is, i cant drive mine till they get here cause it wont start :dang: so im driving a chevy blazer :scare2:

that aint no fun i had to tow mine 6 miles on a tractor with nocab in th snow to git it to start

damn, when my cps went out we had ta get the ol case out ta haul it to the farm, in 2 or 3 feet of snow, lucky us it was the 970 which has a cab

yea them are nice i was useing an oliver 770

never delt with oliver all we use is case, i had a 20 foot trailer with mud truck on it, we had the duals on it, it sucked LOL

that would suck lol

oh ya, a ranger with 3inch body and 3 suspension lift and 34s under it,

sounds like a mean little mudder

haha pending on the spot, it does amazing on the trails in the woods, but in an actual mud pit it does alright do to low axle clearance

sounds fun my old truck i use for muddin tranny went out so cant play except in reverse.

so you decide what glow plugs ur gonna run?

probibly try to get motorcraft i just sold my dirt bike soi should have enough lol

haha, i had to sell a turbo i had laying around, that was enough but i got bills so i had to sacrifice something, (poor truck)

yea i know how that feels sacrficed gettin a ts chip and afe intake so i could help a friend git his truck fixed

i went power hungry performance, they use ts chips but do there own custom tunes, its the only one i'll run

aint herd of them befor ill have to look in to that im still new to modifing diesels

i was too till bout a year ago, its powerhungryperformance.com there the most thuro of all companys i seen about asking about your truck to make sure its perfect,

thanks ill have to look in to that.

yup
