If y'alls trucks are giving you that much troble you need to check the glow plugs/grid heaters

I removed my grid heaters thats why its a bitch to start... Should crank right up if they are working.

yep, sure would.

i removed all my heaters considering it's just a track truck, but on the few fays its been freezing here it will fire off beautifully when plugged in. and when not plugged in, she still starts first try, but is a little cranky to idle for the first minute or so.
