Mickxal Not with the 6.4 and 6.0 they have far too common issues that aren't owner fault. You shouldn't have to dealer proof an expensive diesel truck for it to run right. How ever the new 6.7s are on par power/reliability wise with cummins and duramax.
Wow, I'm a bit of a chevy fan, but god damn I did not expect that to start on the first try! I just watched a video of a silverado in -20 and the dude was cranking it for like 2 mins before it would fire. Those cummins are such beasts its is undeniable. Good job Ram
Not really. They are concerned about the chalk from them causing breathing problems these days. At the least white boards are used but most schools these days have smart boards which the teacher just plugs their laptop into.
Norwegian schools where ages 6 to 16 go use chalkboards I believe, as well as touch screen projector thingies hooked up to a computer. High schools though use whiteboards and very often the touchscreen thing. I think it depends on the school.
I run a welding truck in alberta, and all of the company trucks are dodges. I have repeatedly cold started my truck everyday in -50 C. These Cummins are just pure beast mode all the time. We had a bad cold snap this past winter where it dipped it -55C plus a windchill bringing it down to a frosty -67C in camp. We literally fueled the truck at the end of the 12 hour work day, parked it in camp, and left it running all night, because there was no access to the parking rail. Came out at 545am the next morning and she was still running all nice and toasty inside coolant at operating temp. Drove to the gas station and filled her up cuz it burned 3/4 tank just idling. Did this for 4 days in a row. As in the truck did not shut off for 4 wholedays. Got home from that rotation and promt;y traded in my 2012 Hemi 1500 for a Ram 3500 Laramie. Never been happier with a vehicle.
That's not how windchill works. An inanimate object is not going to notice even a 100 degree windchill factor, go learn how windchill works. Also, PLUG IN YOUR FUCKING TRUCKS! What the fuck is wrong with you people? Frozen oil doesn't lubricate shit, your just beating the hell out of the engine and transmission because you're too stupid and lazy to pre-heat the things.
Brad Gefroh diesel oil is thicker than gasoline engines. My 5.0 f150 starts fine in -35 with synthetic oil. And we hit -50 with the wind every winter here in the prairies. -50c winters and can get to over 40c in the summers.
I would have plugged it in for a few hours first, your oil circulation for the first few mins is complete garbage because its probably thicker than cold molasses.
That's nice. I live in Poland, and sometimes we have simmilar winters, so I have fitted DEFA WarmUp system into my deasel BMW. It's warming up engine oil, interior of the car by additional heater and it's charging the battery as well :)
Max Power, I don't think you can talk much about transmission when GM uses Allison. Granted i am a lover of Cummins over the others but the Allison wins in the trans department.
I attended University of Alaska Fairbanks from Fall '98 to Spring '05. Coldest I saw it was -47* and that wasn't the coldest. No-one shuts off their cars when shopping or at the theater or anything unless there are plug-ins available. My '01 Dodge 2500 4x4 V-10 I bought from a woman in the Air Force when she transferred back the America, she had installed a recirculating heater, engine and transmission oil pan heaters, a strip heater on the power steering fluid reservoir, battery blanket and I installed a small trickle charger for my battery. The lights practically dimmed when I plugged it in, but my baby always started for me. :)
my 2006 6.0 sat for a day and a half the other day not plugged in, it started as easy as this cummins at -36C in Manitoba, two 1000 CCA batteries, 58V FICM and synthetic oil, clean fuel filters, take care of a few things and you would be surprised how easy winter can be. Last winter we seen many days of -50 Celsius
Running a 0W-40 full synthetic is must in this weather. Blows my mind people still try to use 15W-40 up in those climates. I recommend Shell Rotella 0W-40 Full Synthetic in the blue bottle
Because the oil is too thick and the crankshaft drags through it. This puts more load on the starter and takes more current to get the desired cranking RPM as well. Plus when the truck starts, it takes awhile to get oil throughout the motor.
giberish9 I still say if you live in Alaska, Canada or a any of the northern states you should be running a 5W-40 or 0W-40 full synthetic (especially for newer turbo diesels 5 years and younger). The synthetic isn't that much more and it is much easier on the oil pump in cold weather and is quicker to reach top end of the motor in very low temps. Also if you're away from electricity sources you can't always plug in your diesel in which case a 0W-40 synthetic is gonna make it much easier to crank a cold diesel motor.
My dad has a Ford and the one thing I love about it is that you can put on defrost and have the air blowing at you at the same time! Most cars/trucks don’t have that
I had a Ford Ranger and in February of 1994 in St Paul Minnesota it was 35 below exactly. The guy where I was staying couldn't get his car started. So I started my Ford Ranger early in the morning at -35 below. Started on first attempt. Long time ago but I still remember it. So cold that it hurt to breathe.
I had a Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins a few years back that I bought new and always had serviced on schedule. When I bought the truck, I was assured that "the engine will go 300,000 miles" without a problem. Which it probably would have done, if the rest of the truck didn't start falling apart, including the dash which was cheap, rigid plastic that broke away in huge chunks. When I traded it (around 80,000 miles), the transmission was having issues, and being a 4x4 was going to cost thousands of dollars to repair. I'm sure they have improved their quality since then, but man, I loved that truck. I would still have it today if everything else on it was built as well as that engine.
Global Traveler nope...they still fall apart around the motor. Hell, the next door neighbor has a 2500 that's 18 months old and he's starting to get rust blisters on the ds fender already. Dash & center console have made noise since day 1.
When the weather gets super cold here in WIsconsin, like 45 below and colder... only Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru will start ( without being plugged in). Seen this for over and over again working in the tow business for over 45 years..
Hehe, yeah. My 97 LandCruiser just has an "Idle Up" button under the ignition. It will cough a bit, but after the engine is warmed up, its no problem. (Iceland here) Starts fine during and after a snowstorm, at -15 degrees celsius. Btw, old Land Rover Defenders will do fine too.
I personally am a ford guy as far as pickups cummins when its comes to anything with more than 12L lol but to each there own all makes have there issues most wouldn't touch a 6.0 powerstroke I own an 03 1 hpop so far and ive seen one that is in touched accept injectors at 460k
47re? All Cummins come with the 68RFE now or your can upgrade to the Aisin on the 3500 models. RAM>Ford all day long. Not to mention that Ford interior is Toyota-level trash.
chris thompson, Dodge is a POS period! The Ram line would have died in the late 80's if it wern't for cummins. Look around and see what old trucks from the 70's and up are still on the road i bet you will notice alot of blue ovals...just saying. Ford had its bad years just like all of them have but over all there are still lots of them on the road and you cant argue that fact.
The plug is for the block heater, it warms the coolant in the side of the block. I double down in those temps with a magnetic oil on heater on a separate circuit, starts like + temps in -35 or colder. Nice truck brother!
@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot the oil will get just a smidge warmer, but not really above -30celsius if its -37 outside, but the coolant is everywhere from 50celsius to 90clesius so the oil warms up fast
@@christopherlamberson1242 yeah I was just going to say that. People better not be touching my stuff without asking. Maybe I have an electrical short I need to get repaired and that is why it is unplugged.
At least you mentioned you forgot to plug in the block heater. The last 5 videos I watched from people seem to be clueless as to why there's aren't starting
Martina Toivenun I'm not from america but the UK is third world compared to most of america. Did you know that every single state in the United States is richer than the UK as a whole, in terms of disposable income and purchasing power.
B______ F________ I have to disagree. diesels hate cold weather. they are compression ignition and do not have spark plugs like a gas engine does, which means a cold engine will barely produce enough heat to ignite diesel fuel, which also has a much higher flash point than gas too. plus they are higher compression requiring more juice from the starter to overcome the force. and cold weather eats batteries especially at -35. don't even get me started on diesel fuel gelling.
B______ F________ In Finland we have winter diesel that have geling point -38 celsius ~-36F so most use densin motored cars. They are better in winter. Trucks are on diesel but they have gas heaters to overcome the cold issue.
I hate it when I see videos like this and all I see in the comments are arguments about which of the 3 brands of diesel trucks is the best. Why can't we all be like the fans of older diesels who just have respect for all of them?
agreed when you get into diesels you enter a whole new category they are all the same. oh and a cummins is no dodge if the motor was dodge it wouldn't have made it off the assembly line
Jacob Gervy Sorry to hear :( Least you're honest.... I know prices of goods gotta be outrageous too... I used to have a Duramax 3500 crew and it was also a beast and VG TRK. went thru -22F in PA with it b4, and at about -10-12F or so, the condensation/crystals out the exh pipe is perpetual it's so cold!!! wouldn't stop smoking
I live in Minnesota, coldest it's ever gotten here was -40 and that's since iv been born, iv heard stories in the past that it's gotten down to -60 at Times...we experience -20 every winter and it stays around there...-10 - -20 is about where it is during our winters, the cummins does great for me in the winter
Not good for it!!! nice thing about a Cummins if they will turn over they will start in the Cold, as long as your pre heater is working and the engine still has reasonable compression. I personally plug any diesel engine in under -5 C if I need to start it. A little bit of power is much cheaper than an engine.
Friend has same truck and it started at -42C with unplugged block heater in Alberta. We had a Chev Silverado crew cab in similar weather shared with 2 crews on 12 hr shifts back to back, never switched off in 10 days apart from gassing up.
Ahh, take me back to the 90’s. The days when I diesel work truck woke up half the block and blue collar workers didn’t need touch screens and def fluid. It’s a good looker for sure.
Here in Vermont when it gets cold like this in December the old diesels in the parking lots wind for awhile nice to se for you it turns over like a puppy
@@markambrosio9224 I am guessing you tried to type "useless." If that is the case. Not true. It is a very capable engine with loads of power. Design flaws from the factory, yes. I think every manufacturer gets a mulligan now and then. I towed a 12k trailer from Colorado to Alaska in the middle of November with my 6.0. Had 175k miles on it. Got to Alaska and have been driving it doe 2 more years. Not one repair now over 200k miles. Guess 6.0's suck.
I would never try to start a diesel on anything when it's cold without plugging it in first my diesels are always plugged in before I need them it's the life of the machine but it is each to their own nice video
your neighbor could be pissed about you calling his ford a POS, but it's a 6.0 ford.. it IS a POS, at least if it was a 7.3 he would have some defending it..lol
Yeah, I did this 6.0 before it had a problem. The peace of mind is nice and everything is much easier to work on before it breaks. Although if you can afford the sudden down time brought upon by a head gasket failure it makes a lot of sense to fix it after it breaks. You can usually limp your truck home with a head gasket failure. So not like you'll be sitting on the side of the road. It really comes down to a judgment call.
Exactly. Since Fiat merged with Chrysler, Rams have been lower in quality. They’ve been proven to have major problems even before 100k Miles. F-150s can go well over 300k miles. But that’s just what I’ve learned...
dodge and hemi are the only redeeming parts of dodge. triton and powerstroke are the bad parts of ford. (exceptions of course for some engines but its mostly true)
Cummins engines are the best, but since the merger with Fiat, I have heard of many problems with new Rams, no question there. Fords are now more reliable
@@AustinC2838 that’s a complete lie buddy. Everybody uses the “fiat” bullshit. DODGE and RAM are two separate companies they have been for over a decade now. The company that merged with fiat was DODGE. The “fiat” inspired products are your minivans, chargers, challengers, Jeep’s, etc. RAMS are Mopar products and a separate company from dodge and RAM has zero links to fiat. Do your research before making yourself look like an idiot acting like you know what you’re talking about.
i've always wanted a Dodge Ram 2500, but before i wasn't sure if it could run better than a Ford F-250. Well now I know it is, and this is definitely the truck i'm getting in the future
You do realize that the Ford in this vid is minimum 9 years old. I sure hope a 2-4 year old truck can start when it's that cold. I drive a 2015 f350 6.7 and it also starts like a charm so...
+Re If it isn't carb'd it should start. Batteries are cheap to replace and going into winter with a dying battery is just silly. Old cars will start just fine if you know how to do basic maintenance
Josephuskikit Fred Not with that attitude. Get a little torch rocking under the oil pan and you're set. Possibly. I've also used the blowdryer/heat gun in intake trick
I used to run both a block heater and one of the magnetic stick on heaters. The magnetic heater I stuck on the oil pan and was on a timer to turn on two hrs prior to leaving for work. Can of a pain to crawl under it but the thing started so easy with the warm oil. The entire pan was warm to touch. With just running the block heater the bottom of the pan was still cold. Since heat rises the block heater just doesn't get down deep in the very bottom of the pan and warm the oil. Running the magnetic heater in combo took care of that and since in sticks to the very bottom of the pan the heat went right where is was suppose too.
I don’t know why but every time I see one of those cold start videos I’ve seen millions of times of a diesel engine start up in cold weather I get all excited and hyped up and it’s not even my truck 😂
3RGL how long dose it take to worm up from -35F last year my old 1984 6.9 started at -45f (your lucky you have a block heater to rely on BTW) but it would not worm up i had to cover the radiator to get the needle to climb up a at all but it never did gel
3RGL i wont move till its at full po temp because i dont have a fule preheater so i will jell up easy if my motor drops below 30f when driveing and here in iowa where you have no buildings or tree cover the wind blows free and we have gotten -70 windchill befor on the interstate

The exhaust sounds like that because the microphone picks up the sound of the turbocharger way too much

agreed when you get into diesels you enter a whole new category they are all the same. oh and a cummins is no dodge if the motor was dodge it wouldn't have made it off the assembly line
Danny McCarthy I can't tell if you're just joking around or if you're trying to troll me.
Cameron Jenkins im agreeing with you
I was referring to the second part.
I don't know why this video keeps popping up on my recommendations or why I watch to every time it does, but it is a fun short video to watch
@ 1:55 you know it's cold when there's still snow in the floorboard of the truck
Tonybone Robert yep it is usually always like that in my truck. I had a clump of snow on the passenger seat for like a week lol.
well it's not like it's going to melt
Dude its literally like that all winter here always. There is always snow on everyone's floor boards lol
lol gotta love the RAM trucks tested for -10F still works at -56F well mine started and it was outside for a week in a snow storm lol
Texas truck in AK. What you doin way up there? Long way from home!
Joes Golden Garage he's stationed at ft Wainwright I was there as well it's miserable
Joes Golden Garage He's prob earning a living!!! My guess -- O&G
@@av8rbri473 not really for all the stuff we go through stationed up there the money isn't worth it at all
Jacob Gervy Sorry to hear :(
Least you're honest.... I know prices of goods gotta be outrageous too...
I used to have a Duramax 3500 crew and it was also a beast and VG TRK. went thru -22F in PA with it b4, and at about -10-12F or so, the condensation/crystals out the exh pipe is perpetual it's so cold!!! wouldn't stop smoking
AV8R BRI I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure prices are all the same on all military base stores
that is fucking impressive, i was think no way it would ever start on the remote
Dude amazing! these trucks are amazing, I started mine at an amazing - 40 in northern Indian after 3 days parking no plugged in and it did start.
I love the sound of crunching snow.
Cummins built engine not Dodge's engine...
FirstOnRaceDay Capri 2904 Ford Power Stroke is a Navistar ( as in use to be International harvester) built engine. But their great and I love me Ford.
chargerb1 i know that
chargerb1 The 6.7 Powerstroke is made by Ford and has proved to be a much better engine than the Navistar built 6.0 and 6.4.
Andrew B Yes the new Ford built 6.7 if miles better tan the 6.0 and 6.4
What he's trying to say is,it's not a dodge engine.It's just a shitty carcass with a good engine.
That's why i love Alabama. The coldest I've felt is 18 degrees. My 7.3 did not like the cold
+marshall mcdowell You love Crimebama oh I mean Alabama because it only got down to 18 degrees? LOL
+marshall mcdowell Lol. It was 6 degrees during sowpocalypse. What are you talking about?
+marshall mcdowell lol my record is -7,6C . and still alive in Brazil
I live in Minnesota, coldest it's ever gotten here was -40 and that's since iv been born, iv heard stories in the past that it's gotten down to -60 at Times...we experience -20 every winter and it stays around there...-10 - -20 is about where it is during our winters, the cummins does great for me in the winter
T Parrish it gets to -35 to -37ish and sometimes but not often -40 here in alberta
Not good for it!!! nice thing about a Cummins if they will turn over they will start in the Cold, as long as your pre heater is working and the engine still has reasonable compression. I personally plug any diesel engine in under -5 C if I need to start it. A little bit of power is much cheaper than an engine.
Friend has same truck and it started at -42C with unplugged block heater in Alberta.
We had a Chev Silverado crew cab in similar weather shared with 2 crews on 12 hr shifts back to back, never switched off in 10 days apart from gassing up.
Ahh, take me back to the 90’s. The days when I diesel work truck woke up half the block and blue collar workers didn’t need touch screens and def fluid. It’s a good looker for sure.
Comparing pickup trucks is one of the most 'Murican things you could do.
The coldest over ever felt was -12 and that was after a wind chill and I can barely imagine how cold it felt after that. Stay warm out there my dude
thats awesome , very nice looking truck too by the way
the RAM has always been the sexiest truck.
So true. Just bought one
I viewed this a couple years ago & I am still SUPER impressed. Fing awesome is right. Nice Truck bud & thanks for posting.
really hope you have thin oil in there before damage is done to top of engine with it not able to circulate and same for transmission.
Weeellllllllll
Why didn't your neighbor just plug it in?
It's a Ram, of course it's going to start...
Beautiful truck by the way!
Man damn now that's what I call a winter wonderland this that and the third
In Winnipeg it's been down to -50 without windchill
Ok what is a Texas truck doing in Alaska?
Well that makes sense. Saw a truck from Alaska down in San Antonio once.
Saw a truck in Pensacolla, FL from Alaska... DAMN.
3RGL may i ask why you have to plug it in
It keeps the engine warm enough to where it will start easier *****
Corley Beck oh right i thought it gets cold here in england lol but i might try that
What size rims and tires are those? And did u lift the truck at all? It looks awesome 👍
+3RGL Nice Truck!
3RGL Dodge Ram diesel, nice choice although I would gotten a Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins mega cab dually
Katara standard bed, not the super shorty
Here in Vermont when it gets cold like this in December the old diesels in the parking lots wind for awhile nice to se for you it turns over like a puppy
We got into the upper 40s here in west central florida this winter... I can't imagine, -35 is too much colder.
I saw a texas registration sticker and was confused.
Watching this it's 100.4F today where I am.
The ram is a real expensive engine crate buddy😁
I like how the truck limits its power till warm. User friendly. Great Truck! The new chevy and Ford's aint bad either.
I get recommended this video at least once every single year
Texas plates in Alaska...Nice.
And it's a thrill to see somebody from New Orleans, Texas.
It’s Arkansas not Alaska
He's on Eielson AFB
@@coleriedel751 Looks like Ft. Wainwright to me
I start my Opel every winter day at -45 Celsius. I live in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿.
“Good morning folks”
* 12:30 PM *
Lol we need machinery like this😂❤
You know it's cold when you can hear his footsteps. Speaking from experience
That is an absolutely gorgeous truck. How do you forget to plug it in?
You should have kept filming so we could have seen the 6.0 Powerstroke start as well...... tsk tsk tsk.
DanteGTZ you wouldn't hear that dodge over the sound of that 6.0 turbo on a cold start lol especially if it's straight piped
@@lazykbarranchoutdoors lol so true. My neighbors hate my jet engine of a turbo on cold mornings.
@@ReMz10184 same
6.0 haha most unless junk ford ever produced
@@markambrosio9224 I am guessing you tried to type "useless."
If that is the case. Not true. It is a very capable engine with loads of power. Design flaws from the factory, yes. I think every manufacturer gets a mulligan now and then.
I towed a 12k trailer from Colorado to Alaska in the middle of November with my 6.0. Had 175k miles on it. Got to Alaska and have been driving it doe 2 more years. Not one repair now over 200k miles. Guess 6.0's suck.
shit don't matter if body is Ford,dodge,Chevy....we have Ford f750 that has Cummings red top in it
Josh Hernandez wtf is a cummings
I would never try to start a diesel on anything when it's cold without plugging it in first my diesels are always plugged in before I need them it's the life of the machine but it is each to their own nice video
I was fortunate enough to feel that level of cold here in Chicago during the polar vortex
your neighbor could be pissed about you calling his ford a POS, but it's a 6.0 ford.. it IS a POS, at least if it was a 7.3 he would have some defending it..lol
Everyone I know that owns a 6.0 talks shit about it. They know they suck. Now the 7.3 ill argue is a good engine.
Some people get lucky. I just got done bulletproofing a 6.0 and its an amazing motor. I just get uncomfortable not knowing when it will break.
ya thats true, ive been thinking of bulletproofing mine before it has any issues
Yeah, I did this 6.0 before it had a problem. The peace of mind is nice and everything is much easier to work on before it breaks. Although if you can afford the sudden down time brought upon by a head gasket failure it makes a lot of sense to fix it after it breaks. You can usually limp your truck home with a head gasket failure. So not like you'll be sitting on the side of the road. It really comes down to a judgment call.
Preston Herfel I have an old 2004 6.0 F250 with 245,000 miles, mostly pulling miles. Never had a minutes worth of trouble out of it.
I love how he says “shitty Ford” 😂😂 I’m not a ford guy but dodges are WAYYYY worse than fords. I’d buy a ford before a dodge
Exactly. Since Fiat merged with Chrysler, Rams have been lower in quality. They’ve been proven to have major problems even before 100k Miles. F-150s can go well over 300k miles. But that’s just what I’ve learned...
dodge and hemi are the only redeeming parts of dodge. triton and powerstroke are the bad parts of ford. (exceptions of course for some engines but its mostly true)
I drive a 1990 Ford in Fairbanks my always starts-35.
Cummins engines are the best, but since the merger with Fiat, I have heard of many problems with new Rams, no question there. Fords are now more reliable
@@AustinC2838 that’s a complete lie buddy. Everybody uses the “fiat” bullshit. DODGE and RAM are two separate companies they have been for over a decade now. The company that merged with fiat was DODGE. The “fiat” inspired products are your minivans, chargers, challengers, Jeep’s, etc. RAMS are Mopar products and a separate company from dodge and RAM has zero links to fiat. Do your research before making yourself look like an idiot acting like you know what you’re talking about.
I keep getting cold start recommendations, why do keep watching them. Lol 🤔
just the sound of him crunching throw the snow sounds cold.....🥶🥶🥶🥶
i've always wanted a Dodge Ram 2500, but before i wasn't sure if it could run better than a Ford F-250. Well now I know it is, and this is definitely the truck i'm getting in the future
You do realize that the Ford in this vid is minimum 9 years old. I sure hope a 2-4 year old truck can start when it's that cold. I drive a 2015 f350 6.7 and it also starts like a charm so...
Nice when the 'System is cold'-alert comes it sounds like a Diesel locomotive, is that the turbo?
3RGL wow great! Thanks for commenting back. Really awesome truck I have to say.
Is anybody surprised that a pretty new car can startup in the cold? It's a struggle if you've got an old car with worn battery
+Re If it isn't carb'd it should start. Batteries are cheap to replace and going into winter with a dying battery is just silly. Old cars will start just fine if you know how to do basic maintenance
+Re its a diesel some old diesel engines wont start at 30 let alone -35
Josephuskikit Fred Not with that attitude. Get a little torch rocking under the oil pan and you're set. Possibly.
I've also used the blowdryer/heat gun in intake trick
coldest I've felt was 29 F (don't laugh I'm Floridian)
+MGD Lucky lol coldest i've felt is about -39f
well I haven't seen snow yet. I live in southern Arizona. one time it got like 27 degrees. that was freezing balls for me
Man you guys are lucky it got down to -18 in pa
_ 60 f. Minnesota
We had -57 C in Saskatchewan that year.... now THAT was cold. Good thing I plugged my diesel in lol
This is my neighbor and his shifty ford.....😂😂 love it. Impressive cold start.
Cummins are great, too bad they've got those ball-bag trucks wrapped around them.
-35F. Must be in Minnesota
He clearly wrote in the title it's Fairbanks.
LegendMeadow I know that I was saying Minnesota is just as cold
+Future Gohan amen Lord
+Future Gohan lets just add that canada is cold too
+Future Gohan not cold enough for Canada lol
my neighbour with his shity ford lawl
I️ love how the truck automatically does its thing and makes the RPM’s go up. RAM TOUGH
I used to run both a block heater and one of the magnetic stick on heaters. The magnetic heater I stuck on the oil pan and was on a timer to turn on two hrs prior to leaving for work. Can of a pain to crawl under it but the thing started so easy with the warm oil. The entire pan was warm to touch. With just running the block heater the bottom of the pan was still cold. Since heat rises the block heater just doesn't get down deep in the very bottom of the pan and warm the oil. Running the magnetic heater in combo took care of that and since in sticks to the very bottom of the pan the heat went right where is was suppose too.
thats a cummins for ya.
go back inside for a cuppa tea...
Ford stands for.. Found on road dead or Fucker only runs downhill
Fix Or Repair Daily while you're at it! Lol
***** I have a Ford ranger and it runs just fine.
Never heard of Fucker Only runs downhill lol
250k miles on our ford expedition ;)
Have had one for ten years and never had to fix anything on it.
I don’t know why but every time I see one of those cold start videos I’ve seen millions of times of a diesel engine start up in cold weather I get all excited and hyped up and it’s not even my truck 😂
I'm liking your neighbor's Super Duty! Can't beat a Ford truck🇺🇸 #Ecoboost #Powerstroke
Fort wainwright is awesome
What is plug in?????
Engine block heater
3RGL how long dose it take to worm up from -35F last year my old 1984 6.9 started at -45f
(your lucky you have a block heater to rely on BTW) but it would not worm up i had to cover the radiator to get the needle to climb up a at all but it never did gel
3RGL i wont move till its at full po temp because i dont have a fule preheater so i will jell up easy if my motor drops below 30f when driveing and here in iowa where you have no buildings or tree cover the wind blows free and we have gotten -70 windchill befor on the interstate
3RGL
Thats about the worse thing you could do
Vance Meeks I found you here too? LOL
Dodge vs Ford, Ford vs Doge...Blah, Blah, Blah!! Same shit, different day.
Surprised you didn't have a big pair of orange bull balls hanging from the hitch.
nwscrew63 technically it's ram vs ford. Dodge doesn't make trucks anymore
You get a sub for tellin the Ford owner how much better your dodge is
I love the cummins and the powerstroke but u will never see me owning a duramax
Cummins...one of the most dependable engines out there surrounded by a piece of shit truck. If I could shoehorn my 5.9 into a new Tundra I would.
