Awesome job !! Have rangers since 89 new full circle have fulls size tray just and now 2 rangers in my driveway 1983 4X4 5spd and a 2005 extra cab 2wd with a 4.0 that still smoke the tires
@@nicholasclinesmith1490 what? My 6.2 chevy gasser that makes twice the power and more torque takes about 3 seconds to start in cold weather. Not sure what's hard to understand about that
Had a 95 12 valve 550,000 miles turned all the way up with factory parts all original except head gaskets with no grid heater or block heater, and boy oh boy was she a gem to start in the West Virginia winters 😂
Guys, starters fine, and the battery’s fine. They build these to do this, especially the Cummins. Those battery’s gave enough juice to crank this sucker up and the starter for one is a cheap part, and two, can handle the “Abuse”. Lovey video by the way. I miss the old diesel Cladder of my 6.5, just don’t miss the engine. Once she fired up she ran beautifully. No miss or anything.
Paul Daniel Williams I understand that, but they engineer the system to handle a few of these “shit starts” that have no grid power and cold. But not to do it normally. Worst case scenario he cooks his starter and has to change his batteries a bit more frequently, electrical system should not have a problem moving the pixies as long as he maintains his rig (which he should as any responsible vehicle should), and if he doesn’t, well Thankfully it’s not my truck. One of those things that is fine to do only if you have the cash.
A lot of people don't know this they just assume diesel = glow plugs but not the case and I agree if you live in cold climate don't delete the grid heater not worth the starters and time chances are most folks aren't making enough power to need the airflow that the heater interrupts anyways
I’ve had a 5.9 for 8 years and I didn’t know that! I did buy the block heater cord for really cold weather. $89 at the dealership, $12 at the Cummins place. Always wait until the little curly cue symbol goes off, and she fires right up.
