      In the type of weather he’s been lately he doesn’t need his block heater he needs to learn how to start a 7.3 in the cold cycle the key keep it on for a minute or so after the wait to start light goes off give it 1/4 throttle and it will start right up.

      @genespell4340 10 місяців тому

      @@packingbone1953 Are you referring to the glow plug light in the dash? From what he said i believe he has done that. One quarter throttle is going to make the engine rev way too much unless he releases the throttle after three to five seconds.

    Old 7.3s are just like that haha. Compression ignition does that in the cold. If you have one cylinder firing off (that surge of power) you'll eventually make it started. Just gotta get all of em firing off and put it into high idle. I wouldn't worry about gelling until it gets below zero either. Diesels are just funny about that haha, they're pretty simple machines.

    Don’t press the fuel when you’re starting it. lol. It’s normal. The piston chamber has to be hot enough to combust. That’s all it is. Glow plug cycles. Is the key. Also, replace the glow plug relay and the glow plugs if they aren’t getting hot enough. Nothing wrong with the truck at all. Just diesel is foreign to you so it’s a lil unsure feeling.

    That 7.3 cold start is normal, we did plug them in for 20-30 min prior to starting when it was freezing or below. It does help it start better, but we did it more for motor longevity as it was better for the oiling. Plug it in to your generator while having your morning coffee, when you are done it will be warmed up. 👍

    That 7.3 is a great engine! It will start in the cold. It it may take a few tries. All diesels have a “lope” in the cold weather. I have the same truck cold is not an issue. Let it run a bit with the lope and then step on the gas to about 900 rpms for a bit and you’ll be fine. You can actually put a high idle switch in for those cold days. Keep up the sweet vids! 👍🏼

    That's a pretty normal startup in cold weather for an older diesel. You might want to consider a diesel coolant heater, you run it for around 20 minutes before you start the engine and it runs off you battery and diesel from the tank. Makes starting much easier and works even when you don't have shore power.

    that era of powerstroke surges in the really cold like that because it uses HEUI injectors (Hydraulic Electric Unit Injector). the low pressure oil pump that lubes the engine feeds oil to a high pressure oil pump. the high pressure oil is what actuates the fuel injectors. that surge is because the oil is cold. once it catches a bit, just give it a little throttle and it will be fine. the surge is harmless. modern "ultra low sulpher diesel fuel" thats at all the stations now does not gel up like diesel used to when that truck was new. i live where its -40 for a good chunk of winter in alberta and ive never had it gel up.
