Hey bud. I use to have the same issues. Make sure the optical sensor isn't over advanced. That causes shit starting. And obviously your glow plugs. My 1997 6.5 starts like summer now in that weather after I checked timing.
I like how you think the old girl Def needs some glowplugs and some new batteries among its other many issues but she still does the job thanks for watching and commenting
If you keep the glow plugs and fuel system in good condition, and have a healthy engine, they’ll fire right up. My low mileage 6.2 will fire right up on one glow plug cycle and without being plugged in, down to 13F. I try not to do that, but it’ll start fairly easily.
Love these trucks just sad to get parts for it here in Germany. Also I got a feeling that previous owners have not treated it right and also did not know what they were doing. The glued headlights are a first example for that...
Because everyone always comments and wants to see what I'm doing in the cab are ya pumping the pedal blah blah blah can't make em all happy thanks for watching
It has a block heater I just never remember to plug in if it's close to power which is rare I would say new glow plugs would do a world of good I bet only a couple actually get hot lol thanks for watching
Please make more cold starts and show us what you’re doing with the throttle? My N14 Cummins likes being pumped when cranking and before. It won’t start without it. Love your truck!
@@gearhead9943 I know the way the fuel system works on an N14, the only possible explanation is there is a start notch in the pump and when you push the pedal down once you put it into start, and the rest do nothing. My Cat 3406b is that way I've had IH dt466 that started that way, and we have a 5.9 Cummins in a freightliner that you can crank until your ears bleed that won't start, but if you push the throttle to the floor and let go, it fires up immediately
its not pumping the pedal 1/4 om your first attemp 1/2 throttle on the second and let it cool for 10 sec before restarting , chek on your sunvisor there is a sticker but forsure glowplug will help
seth sweet man! Maybe film it next time from outside looking in the cab with the door open so we can see what you’re doing with the throttle. I’m curious to see how yours reacts
