I had a 1990 model 6.2 when I lived in Alaska, I started it once at -47 F. I won't mention wrapping the engine with an electric blanket, having a percolator style block heater, battery blankets and oh, yeah, a blower heater blowing up under it.

Put civilian 12 glow plugs in and take power from the passenger side of the resistor. When the glow plug board burns out put a switch. Mine starts in the cold no problem. I think I had 3 bad glow plugs when I fixed it

Everyone loves to hate in this engine cuz Ooo no power but the thing is a Detroit diesel, that's not the point, it's simple as anything, it's literally a 2 stroke, you can fix it yourself easily and it'll get the freakin job done.
That’s nothing these 6.2 and 6.5 starters are made for this. If the batts can hold up got to keep cranking build some heat. Only other way is to add some laughing gas
No Problem for the startermotor nor the pinion since it‘s continously engaged and not going back and forth. The coils shouldn‘t overheat at this temp either.
My dad used a 6.2 as a snowplow truck plowing for my uncle. He said hed come over to plow and the truck would just be idiling there. He said the thing sipped fuel and was perfect.
It will shoot epic flames. I once poured water from a cup in to the exhaust just because. I fired up the truck and it shot a huge load of soot water on the side of the white van next to me. That was embarrasing.
Hello there, could I use a part of your video for my cold-starting compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thank you for answer in advance :) Which truck is that, I'm not good with knowledge about those haha. 1986 Chevy K10? Is that recorded in Finland? Great video, cheers :D
Gutless old dog of a motor.. but they were pretty cool if you never wanted to pass anyone ever. Have an 84 C2500 Silverado with over 600k miles on one of these (w/ overhaul) truck still starts and runs no problem.
@@Catrik we used our 84 as a highway truck mostly. It saw use on the farm.. but being the nicer truck (Silverado) we used it for highway pulling. We have a 77 Scottsdale that saw alot more use on the farm.
-25c is -35c with wind chill that’s -40f for you Americans and same for Canadians basically -40c after wind chill It was a cold winter but that truck needs new glow plugs and it needs them to be cycled a few times, also the glow plugs don’t light that long on my truck I have a feeling he waited for them to cool down before cranking to make the video dramatic, we do love our 6.2 6.5 engines because their reliable beasts! I don’t blame him for makin her look tough!😏
Good thinking, use the heat from the starter to pre-heat the motor. 👌
He DID say cold start...an that's how it works
That's how the old busses used to start, because they never had glow plugs back then,,
one way to say you have never had an old diesel.. the batteries and starters are designed for this..

Damn things would run forever but wouldn’t pull a hat off your head 😆
youre lying your ass off
anyone else notice the chain holding the exhaust up
One of the coolest sounding engines ever produced unfortunately zero freaking power
Don't you mean tons of it?
It was powerful for its day. Nothing a little bit of mods cant fix.
@@CSHPTV thats no longer stock then lol
Needs glow plugs
Need new glow plugs
That has got to be the baddest ass thing I’ve seen today, it’s still the morning but I think we have a winner.
Always amazed at people that run their starters for almost minutes at a time. You must reeeally not be worried about melting wires or burning it out.
I’m always amazed that people repeatedly bitch about this. Starters DON’T just fail from being used. And wires don’t magically melt. Get a grip and float back down to reality.
Starter is like 50lb of copper and steel... at -6F... hardly think it's an issue... assuming stock... 24V so 1/2 the amps as well...
Every car I ever had said in the manual you can crank an engine up to 15sec without hurting the starter
I love that sound! Also the flap is a nice touch
Keeps the rain out too 😂

Everything about this is badass!
Why in gods name am I so fascinated with watching these.
Those old 6.2/5 engines were awesome and with regular maintenance, super reliable!! Too bad kids get them, crank them up and blow them
My dad used to have the 6.2L Deisel Suburban. Thing sounded badass.
If you cycle the key 3 or 4 times it's start easier. Living with the 6.5 hmmwvs in Montana winters was fun.

You know glow plugs keep running when the light goes out right? That light only indicates that they’re warming up.
This sound beats a "hellcat" whiny sound ANYDAY

Thanks for the suggestions. This is a civilian truck, manual glow switch was one of the first mods I did.
It looked green like the 1008 or 1028. You can check the resistance of the glow plugs without taking them out.
That’s awesome shit but one thing why rev cold diesel?😬

The 6.2 or 379 Detroit is a 4 stroke. It is Detroit's only, other than the 6.5 or 396 cubic inch.
I had a ‘93 with the 6.2, man I miss that thing
I will really miss this when we will all be mandatorily driving electric cars...
They will have to take my combustion vehicle out of my cold dead hands.
Rip that starter
I think it's safe to use a starter continuously for about 15 seconds. I don't think he went any longer than that, so the starter should be good.
I've done way worse,no problems

The N/A 6.2…..the best engine ever made for turning diesel into tons of smoke and noise
And the award for best f'ng exhaust goes to ☝️ this guy!
My dad used a 6.2 as a snowplow truck plowing for my uncle. He said hed come over to plow and the truck would just be idiling there. He said the thing sipped fuel and was perfect.
What's that flap on the end for. I see it in tractors aswell
Sad that this engine made no power, but it sounds good and they last forever
I don’t miss my 6.2. I remember pulling a car to the scrap yard when flat tire the floor got passed by a Prius and a loaded cement mixer. Was a turd.
Is that a CUCV I see?
No but yes, CUCV are same model of truck. This one is just a normal civilian truck.
all that crappy soot on the side of the bed gives it an interesting look?
ThT should be a standard ringtone option.
Awesome truck man

Why are you riding the starter like that? I don't understand?
Dont know what you mean
I just need to know what tires those are.

Why is the exhaust down the side? Weird
Actually its up the side!
Question: i'm from middle europe, and don't know much about these engines. Anyways; don't they have glowplugs?
Yes they do. Mine were not properly working and indirect injection diesel engines are not very good at starting in the cold in general.
@@Catrik dear lord, that sounds like a damn museum down the hood.
How much does a decent one in the US cost?
@@trotheimer3337 I dont know, Im not in the US. I think they have been going up in prices, they are getting more rare and they are pretty popular.

Diesel is really slow burning it’ll be fine

That exhaust is dumb af. Right by the gas filler door?
But why does it have to be so close to the filler? I'd have it pass side.
It's dual pipes! It is on both sides.
