It is also smart to not rev the motor on a cold start. Let the motor warm up on its own. Also, do not crank the starter for more than 10 seconds at a try or you may burn up your starter.
"It is also smart to not rev the motor on a cold start" - most ECU's are doing it themshelves. They are reving up above 1500rpm sometimes (not like in the video, the dude was like above 2500rpm which is just damaging to the engine!). Ins some harsh conditions and at older engines you have no choice than to rev it, to keep it running. But you might need some clue how to do it properly, most ppl are lugging the engine which is pretty bad (especially if it has a turbo charger!). "Also, do not crank the starter for more than 10 seconds at a try or you may burn up your starter." - in old cars (80's and older) yes, you're right. In later cars 90's up until today there is no issue with that. I had revs for over 30 seconds (during cold start in the Alps) and my 1.9 TDI starter hasn't had any issues with it. You want to get compression work into the engine since it is heating it up as well. ^^
And that's why I have a diesel fired block heater on my truck. If that fails I also have a Honda propane powered genny that can plug into the electric block heater, but after using the Espar for 17 winters, it still works like a champ. 30 minutes for 100 to 140 degrees depending on how close to below 0 it is. Truck starts like it's in Miami.
I learned this while traveling in north parts of Iowa and Upper Michigan, every night b4 I went to sleep i would get out of my nice warm hotel, climb into the diesel pickup, start it up and let it run for 10-20min, then go to sleep. This helps with the engine being started 7 hours later
It does. My golf starts at the first couple cranks if it was started late the day before, even just idling for a minute or two. If not it could take upto 5 seconds of vranking
I have a Dodge 2500 with the V-10 gas engine. I live in Southwest, Alaska where it usually drops to around -35* F. I have 150W heaters on the transmission and engine oil pans, a 1500W recirculating heater for the engine block, an 80W battery blanket, 25W heater on the power steering pump reservoir, and a small trickle charger for the battery. Never had any problems. Had I a diesel? I'd run all of the above and a fuel tank heater.
First of all you put a block heater in the truck and plug it in to warm the oil. That helps tremendously. Secondly you put the world's best synthetic oil in the engine. Buy Amsoil synthetic oil it will be a great help. On the Canadian prairies where temperature can occasionally as low as -50C we just don't shut the trucks off when it's ridiculous cold. If you had a Ford F 350 7.3 litre diesel engine you'd burn 3 or 4 litres over night, that's a heck lot of cheaper than not getting it started. Most highway truckers on the prairies leave the trucks running 24 hours a day. Now if you are really smart you leave the cold weather behind and go on holidays in the tropics till the weather warms up.
Block heaters are pretty much standard equipment throughout much of Canada, just as A/C is in the States. I understand in the high Arctic they will sometimes run heavy equipment on jet fuel because it resists jellification at extremely low temperatures much better than diesel fuel.
In the arctic and the oil patch, the service trucks have heat trace lines to plug into the blocks of the cold equipment to warm the block up. It can be a bit hard on the block getting hot coolant on a snap frozen engine block, but sometimes that's the only way you'll get your equipment started
Why no block heaters? I lived in Nome Alaska for 10 years and you need a block heater when it's -40°. You are prematurely wearing out the engine by forcing it to start.
Just wondering do American diesels have no preheat? Either glow plugs or hot wire in the manifold with diesel spray onto it ? European/British big diesels seem to have better cold start?
They usually have glow plugs. There’s an indicator light on the dash that either looks like a coil, or says “wait to start”. Once that indicator light goes out, then you can attempt to start it. If it’s really cold out, say below freezing or sub-zero temps, it may be necessary to cycle the glow plugs several times by turning the key from “On” to “Acc”.
i would not rev that engine at that temperature. actually, i would buy a dipstick block heater or just start it and let it idle until warmed up. im impressed that it started. must be using some pretty light engine oil....
I have a old 2001 Ford E-350 with a 7.3 here in Canada and winters are not so fun. I always buy new glow plugs every few years and make sure my batterys are great but on those cold mornings she coughs a lot toll it wormed up.
The L line ford at 7:59 needs rear cab mount bushings bad. I had one of those and the cab mounts failed all the time. I would change all cab mount bushing every 2 years or so. Mine had a Cummins 350 and never failed to start on the coldest mornings.
Funny enough, in many US diesel pickups like my 05 dodge ram 2500 5.9 cummins, instructions specifically say after engine starts, depress accelerator bringing rpms up to 1000 rpm then return accelerator to idle position and allow engine to run 30 seconds or longer. However, reving the snot out of a cold diesel above 1000 rpms for more than a few seconds is just plain dumb. And just remember folks, many older trucks, especially semis, dont have grid heaters or glow plugs.
Make 2 -3 or more the key to open the lamp and after start , many greetings from Greece we don't so cold here but I right because I have the same problem with a car here.
Problem is either bad glow plug(s) or a weak battery. If the battery is 5-7 years old, it only may have about ~60% health left, with temperatures at -30°C this drops to 30% or less, which may not be enough. Let alone batteries 7-10 years old. Good glow plugs and batterie would easily start a v6 diesel at -30°C i suppose.
Years ago I filmed a cold start video of my truck, and despite being single digit temps and not being pluugged in, it started just as easy as a warm summer day. Now, the N14 Cummins that was in my old Daycab semi, I'd have to plug it in overnight and spray it with ether to get it to start.
At temperatures below -22°C, diesel needs special additives so that it can ignite/burn! Bei Temperaturen unter -22°C braucht Diesel spezielle Zusätze, damit es zünden/ verbrennen kann!
Vehicles that are specially built for these temperatures usually have an electrical preheating system and/or a tank heater! Fahrzeuge, die speziell für diese Temperaturen gebaut sind, haben meist eine elektrische Vorwärmanlage und/ oder eine Tankheizung!
Just think, if you kept the smaller trucks under cover, how much easier they would start. Why they even keep railway locomotives in sheds. Mining trucks, well they are rather large for your average garage.
Rev the snot out of it while the oil is thicker than honey! It's hard enough on gas engine's unless you use Cosby sauce on both. Even worse on a diesel because oil is not flowing.
If you start your Diesel Trucks Like you start your VW DO NOT Ever Step Foot in My Truck, Here when it is Below -40C this is not his you start any Diesel
A cold start means that the engine is cold to the touch is a true cold start it could be 80 degrees out and the vehicle is sitting and not driven and it’s hard to start for the older vehicle that’s a cold hard start not cold weather

Going to burn up the starter and hurt the motor
Make sure to let the oil and the diesel fuel to flow properly before moving
Let them start them the way they want your not paying the repair bill

Besides a strong battery, good oil viscosity appropriate for the cold is critical. The coolant is critical as well.

Train locomotives idle 24-7 too.
Build a small fire under the engine?

I understand in the high Arctic they will sometimes run heavy equipment on jet fuel because it resists jellification at extremely low temperatures much better than diesel fuel.
In the arctic they don,t shut down the engines all winter long.

Mix Jet-A with regular #2 diesel? Varying proportions?
Mix Kerosene with Diesel 1:4 recommend by Mercedes benz for cars in winter
These awesome engines wouldn't be possible without Rudolph diesel
It would have been someone else.
I was A commercial fisherman for over a decade I LOVE DIESELS!!!!!!!!!
Why no block heaters? I lived in Nome Alaska for 10 years and you need a block heater when it's -40°. You are prematurely wearing out the engine by forcing it to start.
Is some areas where you are not permitted to hook up.to A/C power to operate the heater. 😊
Lovely bit of smoke on the car looks like the opening of a good beer

Fun fact about Detroits some of them are twin charged meaning they have both a turbo and a supercharger

What do the Ruskies do comrade?
Try using some high-quality winter fuel treatment
If there is room in oil pan ( level near add mark) add some warmed up oil ( put new oil bottle in boiling water) warm oil will save the eng
That is a stupid idea. Where did you get such ridiculous advice?!?!
Make 2 -3 or more the key to open the lamp and after start , many greetings from Greece we don't so cold here but I right because I have the same problem with a car here.
Would help if you change the spark plugs on a regular basis. Easier cold starts with fresh spark plugs, more spark = more fire.
No spark plugs on a diesel engine !!!
They use compression alone no spark is needed.
🤦
I like the shutters on them
Where is the big truck on the thumbnail?

That looks really bloody cold 🥶 Vivian Hyde 🏳️🌈 😊
Its there so difficult and mouting a fuelheater and make the start much better..and the startmotor livning much longer..
First few tries are only to bring up engine oil and therefore don’t have to last long. Pause for a while , before the final try
Here in western Canada in the winter, diesel engines often have a difficult time starting. Gasoline engines fare much better.
At temperatures below -22°C, diesel needs special additives so that it can ignite/burn!

Try putting 12 or 24 volt diesel in engine bay even cheap Chinese brand
Diesel heater I mean
Them cowboy truckers can destroy anything
Ether. Just be careful or your engine will get hooked on the stuff 😂
Yup, and it will fry the pistons 😅😂.
On my Volkswagen diesel i would heat the oil pan with propane torch even the injectors...
Why Volvo is missing?
It’s 40- my dad did a cold start
why when I see the first vehicle at the intro I sing "Volkswagen. Das. Auto."???
They should have the time and temperature of each start-up
Just think, if you kept the smaller trucks under cover, how much easier they would start. Why they even keep railway locomotives in sheds. Mining trucks, well they are rather large for your average garage.
First car in listing take the footbrake off and get some extra starter power.
I think it’s got push button start, or it requires you to brake to use the key. Lots of VW’s of that era are like that.
I think last truck (series 60) is Optimus Prime :P
Perché tenere le luci accese quando il motore non è ancora partito?
Never rev it like that on a cold start. Let all cylinders fire up first.
Anyone keep a can of ether on their truck, especially an ice-cold Dee-troit 2-stroke?

What, you have never heard of a engine pre heater.. They have all kinds they work fine.. Otherwise put it in a heated garage....
If you are consistently starting an engine at -30c with no block heating its life will be greatly reduced of course !
Dear channel owner! Where r u from?
Lol u got that right!!!! I love the extreme vold start up then revving the shit out of it, lol.
