      my thoughts exactly it would also improve the ride quality greatly and big rims like that in general on any vehicle I just don’t like I prefer big tires but if the stock rims and tires give the best ride quality I’ll leave those on

    Hey just fyi, glow plug relay does run for 2 minutes. Wait to start light doesn’t mean the plugs have went off. Really makes a difference if you let it run for 2 minutes instead of 30 sec. Of course glow plugs make a world of difference.

      @@shawnpettigrew7709 Well it’s not good to just leave the starter cranking until it fires. 1. Easiest way to drain the battery. 2. If the engine starts to fire and you keep cranking it, there is a risk of you shearing the gears off of your starter. 3. Keeping the starter pegged for like 30 seconds will burn the starter right out in minutes, stupid idea.

    Most of the people made a comment on some important things. Like not stopping when it starts to crank, letting the glow plugs cycle for 2 minutes and also glow plugs in general. But please, don’t use starter fluid anymore on a diesel. A rag with a little bit of gasoline is all you need. Way safer on the motor.

    If these trucks do not fire right up in the winter your either not letting the key on for 2 minutes after the wait to start light goes off , or your glow plug relay I shot or you have weak batteries . Cycling the key is absolutely useless and is not how the glow plug system works . Mines 350k miles , never ever doesn't start ..below freezing and all , fires right up . Do not cycle the key , it's not how it works

    But even in 5° weather it takes me four or five cycles to start up my naturally aspirated 6.2 diesel.
    The 7.3 is awesome from what I’ve heard, having never owned one, but there’s probably something you need to change with the truck if it’s having such a hard time starting.
    Obviously glow plugs, and the relay for the 73 for starters, but then check out fuel injectors and shit

    • @zKONAMPFALLEN

      Everyone saying starting fluid "fries" a 7.3 has no idea what they're talking about. Heavy equipment has starting fluid aids that help in cold weather. Some are used daily and have thousands and thousands of hours on them. The reason it will cause damage is because the glowplugs are activated, or they use too much. Let the glowplugs turn off completely and then spray for 1 second that's all you need. Been using it for years on stuff never had an issue don't burn oil.
