Having bad glowplugs didn't give this a fair shot. At that temp it is impressive enough to be able to crank the engine. It didn't start due to the glowplugs, not the jump pack.
Although now that i think about it too the first day it died a few cranks short of starting and the second day it didn’t spin it over nearly as fast to even fire so maybe i’ll have to try it again if we get another cold day with a different truck
Man, I can speak with definite experience about glow plugs. I had 1 glow plug out in my 6.0 and it would take 3-4 seconds to fire up between 20-30 degrees outside. I swapped the plugs on the passenger side and it fires up in less than a second at 10 degrees now. If your glow plugs are bad, especially in a 7.3 it's going to thrash that jump box. Don't knock the box yet until you fix your plugs....
Along with glow plugs issues, you might have lower compression due the motors age. In That case it Would be easier to turn over, but even harder to start (making you even more glowplug/preheat dependant). You might want to look into an airbox heat element to add, or make something simple (any 12v in-cab heater) to install in the air box with its own switch (and fuse) to warm the intake air along with the glow plugs ~
Great video! I just ordered the new NOCO GBX75 ( 2500A ) from Amazon on Prime Day yesterday. Got $80 Prime Day discount. When you did these tests was the NOCO pack the same temp as outside air? ( did you keep the pack in the truck overnight? ) or was it house/warm temp? Great product mine's supposed to arrive today. Thanks again!
Mine lasted one year. No NOCO ever again for me. Mine allowed the lithium battery to discharge to a point of no return. The discharge protection circuit is missing or faulty.
@Ida hoe they did not make them 20 years ago. Must be a lot of faulty ones going around check TH-cam noco repair channel sos fix. They are supplied to him daily almost in new condition with the tape still on but, FAULTY!
If the truck had have been a good starter the noco would have started it no problem it was turning over fast enough ie. fault with the truck not the pack.

Yep. It cranked the truck for a good bit too. With good glow plugs it would’ve started

Great product test. Had my 60 degree Fla.."cold" start this morning on my 02 7.3..lol
"A Destructive Test is Worth a Thousand Opinion's" Thanks for the brutal honesty. - Unknown -
I'm actually impressed it cranked as much as it did. If it had dead batteries connected and you left it on for a few minutes it probably would go
The unit is actually awesome and dit what is designed for,you have truck /glow plug issues
Damn I've got to admit - you cracked the sh** out of that jump starter but it managed well!!
Shoulda had the block heater plugged in…at those temps that black goo in the oil pan would have eased the pain 😏

It was in the house for the test and then i brought it outside for testing

Next time hit the “turbo” button on the jump pack- hmu I’ll explain it
Nice...i'm wondering if the new GBX155 would have turned it
Wish they would have added the voltmeter display on the 155
Dude you have enough crank that’s more of a issue with tuning or something because that things cranking fast and plenty !glow plugs suck lol
what is best jump starting?😢

that a short bed dually ford? or is it just that way it shows up on the video? thats rad if it is a shorty
these batteries simply dont work on diesels in cold weather. I picked up an extra battery from walmart just ot jump the truck.
You put it inside to let it cool down in 30 degree weather
Did it come from the factory that short or no?
No I custom built it this way
@@Jimmyziggy thicc
Archoil oil and fuel treatment
Truck has something els going on it cranked it over good!
anyone see the spark jumping near the rad look right belwo the cross support
That's the sunlight flashing through the hole with the fan blades turning
Needs a snort of that tractor crack!
What's the difference between this 3000A and the 4000A noco gb150?
They're the same one, the manufacturer changed it. The 3000 amp being the newer of the two.
