Deliciously smelling and heavily addicted diesel gas. And as long as that delicious smoke smells this good, I don't give a damn about the amount of poison. On the contrary: there should be a lot more of those beautiful clouds of smoke coming out. Anyone who sits down in front of the pipe only leaves when no more smoke comes out, even if that takes hours.
Man do I love cold starts, just listening to the amazing sounds of struggle before it starts. Great job man! Btw, can I use this video in a cold start compilation? Will credit you and link to your channel. Thanks 😁😁
Keep seeing this comment all over RU-vid videos like this… diesel starters are designed for instances where the engine struggles because of weather. Stop saying this please
He probably hasn't replaced a single starter yet...I have 2 diesels 1 being a 1993 12v Cummins that gets started like this all winter and it has the original 1993 starter
Hello there, could I use a fragment of your video for my coldstarting compilation? Of course I will put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thanks a lot for you answer in advance :)
Sounds like partially gelled up fuel in the filters, maybe combined with an air bubble: Ignites within a second, runs all cylinders in the sequence, but then loses fuel pressure and dies.
@@sovietspy8260 That would lead to a random stutter, like often seen in other cases, or e.g. just only one cylinder firing. Not to succession of successful ignitions across all cylinders in the sequence and then a failure of all of them again. To me it sounds like the transport pump making after a while sufficient pressure for the injection pump to inject enough to ignite, the engine speeds up a bit, so the next few cylinders ignite as well. But as it speeds up, the transport pump is not able to keep up, leading to injection pump cavitation stall (instead of sucking in the fuel, it forms a cavitation bubble) so stops injecting new fuel (or the dose becomes insufficient), so engine dies, slows down so the transport pump becomes able to form some pressure again and the cycle repeats. Or it could be not what the transport pump delivers, but what the paraffin flakes clogged filters pass...
I just like when some diesel owners don’t cycle the glow plugs!!! It’ll help start in better then cranking the starter constantly and burning it up. But what do I know. I have an old 6.2 Detroit diesel and I always cycle before I just crank on it. Least he didn’t keep cranking on it in this video that much
Bro that truck doesn't have glow plugs haha..it has a grid heater not glow plugs..the video description even tells you so.. my 2015 Cummins has a grid heater no glow plugs and you can do a grid heater swap on glow plug Cummins motors as well like this guy did
That's how you start a cold diesel..laying into the starter for over 15 seconds at a time is the proper way to start a diesel when it's cold..the name of the game is build heat in the cylinders to create combustion, heat will never create if the cylinders are not moving that's why guys will hold the starter on for long periods of time it's not hurting anything besides the starter that is designed to take abuse
Imagine trying to drive a vehicle thats takes that long to start every day? Gasoline is much easier to run and unless you have to pull your house everywhere you go....a diesel light duty truck is really not needed
