Time is valuable thanks for watching! This is a project we've been thinking of doing for a while now. Tell me what you guys think and if you have ideas for future content.
I just got my first diesel, a 96 f250 4x4, it is probably the loudest thing ive ever heard with a stock exhaust, and its fun making the planet happy by making clouds! Ive never had more fun driving to work lol
Great video Being a westerner I am surprised to see such cold weather in Ontario. 15th December and I am seeing +.6C here in the Okanagan B.C. I will be surprised to see anything lower this winter than -10C and that would be a stretch.
Watching the cold start videos overseas is really cool. Some of the videos from Russia or extreme Northern Europe show -40s to -50s (in Celsius of course). It takes so long for the engines to fire, you can practically feel the owners frustration.😂
@ usually mid jan or feb we can expect some -30's-40's. We may get another opportunity. Webasto 's or espar coolant heaters are almost necessary to get these engines fired up.
I miss my 7.3. Mine would have lost this battle day one. It never really liked starting. But it would run good. Changed glow plugs. Put a new block heater in even. Just was a bitch to start. Killed batteries doing it. Eventually I just always gave it a sniff of ether
@@rodleypumpkins4174 I could have helped you get it starting mint ! Lol most common issue with 7.3 not starting in the cold is the glow plug solenoid . A little easy test is; When first turning the key on you want to see that voltage drop to about 9 -10v on the battery gauge. It's a crazy voltage drop, but that means your glow plugs are actually warming up. This is normal and to be expected. If the voltage drop doesn't happen then there's an issue with the circuit ( most likely the solenoid behind the fuel filter). Jumping the two big terminals on the solenoid is an easy test. And if done within 30 seconds of turning the key on, and you see a spark that tells you that the solenoid is not latching.. and you need to figure out why. 👍

The F-250 for those who love the smell of diesel exhaust in the cab.
Those would be the hard core guys I am talking about here.
Great video

Quick conversion table:
-6C=21.2F
-12C=10.4 °F
-22C=-7.6 °F
-26C=-14.8 °F

@thank you for that! I was a kid when I had that truck I’m betting you are right tho. I can’t recall if we ever replaced that. I doubt it lol.
Do a test with the trucks sitting all week and then start them up
@@David-yy7lb that can be arranged
I had a 96 F250 i bought brand new I put over 500,000 thousand miles on that old 7 ran like a fine clock I sold it probably still going somewhere
@@eddieweigel9490can't kill em lol yeah the body's will be finished but engines last forever.
First.
