I had a 1990 model 6.2 when I lived in Alaska, I started it once at -47 F.

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.
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.
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.
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

@@haroldstrickland8416 it is. Also, after they broke the first time, mine was modified to be held by 12mm bolts instead, and sure enough, they both broke shortly after.

@@haroldstrickland8416 oh damn that sucks. Right now, i have two bolts on the inner starter mounting hole. One that broke off quite far in, so i just left it there and rethreaded. The other is a cut 12mm that i put in underneath. Sounds sketchy considering that they break all the time, but i've not had any problems with it most likely due to the bracket
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,,

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.

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...
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.
@@connorszajko 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.

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

Sad that this engine made no power, but it sounds good and they last forever
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.

You know glow plugs keep running when the light goes out right? That light only indicates that they’re warming up.

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.
