Cold Start Video
 

I was asked in another thread to put up a Cold Start w/o the grid heaters for teh 1st gen. Well here it is. Been in the teens all night. Wind blowing about 30.

This video is unavailable.

:ph:

Yeah... It is procesing...

you got me all excited to see the video then WAM! big let down , :sad:

It loads up if you click on the link, just above the video screen.

It's working now!!!

Man, that's weak...mine would crank on the first try...smoke like a chimney...but crank and stay running.

:D

It started! :upup: what's the problem??:w2:

I don't suppose plugging it in would help, Huh?


Looks like you park your truck in the North 40... Maybe a little closer to the house would help?

Just a little bit rough :humm:

Yeah... You live in Florida!!! :D When is the last time your truck sat outside with teh temp lik 16* for a day or two? :D

And the lack of grid heaters doesn't help :D

I dont drive it enough to worry about plugging it in.

That sounds like my 01 powerstroke everyday

Sounds exactly like my 91 the last 2 days with a bad starter been high of 16 degrees last 2 days.

Purs like a kitten! :lol88:

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

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

:pca1:

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.

Heck that ain't bad I've had a few 7.3L that have all there heaters that are worse if anything.

cold starts with mine suck right now, had alot of head work done, forgot to replace the injector seals:argh:, must get air in the lines or something but i have to crank her about 15 times just to get here to fire over after sitting for more than 3 days:booo:
