The ford 7.3 uses engine oil to open and close the fuel injectors. Also some of the diesel might have gelled a little bit. It might be a good idea to get a small generator to top off your batteries and if you get into really cold weather were your truck wont start, you can plug in your block heater to warm the engine. Probably wont need it most the time but it would be cheap insurance. Another great video and I really want a truck camper after watching your videos.

@chilidog73 6 месяцев назад

Yes... And add a good anti gel fuel additive.

@georgemacdonald8899 6 месяцев назад

El cheapo generator from harbor freight is about $180, a 100 amp marine battery from Walmart about $100. I would carry the extra battery, fully charged. You can run your heater off of it if needed or just for cold starts. Those generators do work, but longevity is an issue. I know a buddy who had one for van camping and went through a whole bunch of them, he got the warranty extensions and just kept replacing them. A 100 watt thin solar panel can be directly connected to the battery, just monitor with a volt meter. You can easily calculate how "full" the battery is from it's voltage at rest state(several hours after charging). Keep those batteries in the 8-13.6 volt range for optimal usage. Charge controller are fairly cheap if you don't want to do math and manage them directly.

@b.s.g.1586 6 месяцев назад

Yes the "surging" of the engine is normal on a cold start. It should clear up within a minute or so. Some cylinders may not be hot enough to ignite the diesel fuel. Add anti gel to the fuel in cold weather or buy "winter diesel" fuel. If you don't have louvers on your radiator, & it gets below 0°F I'd cover the outside of the grill with cardboard or a vinal cover to limit the cold air rushing over the motor & help the engine keep its heat up. Diesels run cold even on a hot summer day, so in the winter they need help to stay warm.

Get a snow shield for your windshield. It’s just a polyester tarp that tucks into each door when closed so you don’t have to deal with snow or ice. Mine was $4.

Freezing rain occurs when the layer of freezing air is so thin that the raindrops do not have enough time to freeze before reaching the ground. Instead, the water freezes on contact with the surface, creating a coating of ice on whatever the raindrops contact. Sleet is simply frozen raindrops and occurs when the layer of freezing air along the surface is thicker. This causes the raindrops to freeze before reaching the ground. Just an FYI :)

This vid reminded me of my husband's years in MN and SD loving his cross-country skiing. Many would wear an SEMI-EMPTY BACKPACK and attach their Snowshoes to it. A safety feature for those times when your skis might malfunction or grow legs and walk away. Even a short hike can be brutal on your feet without Snowshoes with as a Plan B. Something to maybe consider when you're out there alone since you already have Snowshoes.

@kkuni491 6 месяцев назад

It was really cool to see me running cross country alone in a cold snowstorm. It must have been scary and lonely alone, but from the viewer's perspective, the magnificent snowy scenery around it also shows the beauty of winter alone. The world covered in white snow is like a painting, and it seems to express both the solitude and beauty of winter trekking alone. This is a really touching video. We support you from Korea America. Have a good day. ❤❤❤

That's normal for diesel engines, let the glow plugs warm up a little before cold start, depending on how cold temperatures get, you would need a block heater

Like Shaggy-66, I used to do a lot of winter sports like cross country skiing. I no longer can do it but enjoy watching others like you doing it. These days, I'm a fair weather camper with my wife. Can't wait for Spring to come now. In Utah, we call this type of snow Corn Snow. My 1997 Ford Diesel makes the same sound with cold starts. I wonder if it has something to do with too much fuel that needs to burn off. [flooding]

Good return video! Normal Ford 7.3 COLD start noise……get some Hot Shot diesel Extreme and throw it in the tank ever couple fill ups. Stops the fuel from gelling up in extreme cold weather or if sitting in the tank. Also since you were away for a few weeks fuel could have collected little bit of “gunk (algae believe it or not) ” in the tank. If you go away or are out of town again add some Stable-Store to the tank. This works great on auto, truck and marine diesels when storing for the winter or extended periods…… Welcome back to USA.

Cold air is very dense which is harder for a turbo to move at first. A diesel needs air to combust it’s fuel. This is normal.

@jaystewart9947 6 месяцев назад

Yes. It’s a cold 7.3L powerstroke. Mine did this when I had 200,000+ miles. Block heater is nice to have. Like others have said a small generator would do the trick. Not sure what the heater would pull in watts but you’d have to consider that in what generator to purchase. Anyway, great video and no video is complete without the “hot coffee whoooo sip” 😃

@SteveHencye 6 месяцев назад

You should consider installing a diesel heater. You'll be nice and toasty, will be able to set the temp on a digital monitor and can even tap in to your trucks fuel tank if you wanted to. Might also consider a small generator you can plug your block heater into on those cold winter mornings. Makes for a much easier diesel startup.

@Girlsontop21 6 месяцев назад

Always look forward to your videos! I remember you country skiing last year. Glad you all are back and safe! See ya on the next one! Btw..for the truck, If the truck is surging when cold but runs normal when at normal op temp. You have an injector that is bad. Might need to do a Injector buzz test and cylinder contribution test are needed.

@packingbone1953 6 месяцев назад

7.3’s are cold blooded the glow plug light on the dash is a dummy light the glow plugs actually stay on for 2 minutes after the light goes off. On cold mornings let the key sit in accessory for a minute after the light goes off and give the truck 1/4 throttle and as long as your glow plugs are working you’ll start right up.

@ForeverChanged7 6 месяцев назад

Great to see you back at home. What a beautiful area and time of year in Oregon. But I think all seasons are beautiful in Oregon. I just keep thinking when you are in the back country, about what you do if the truck doesn't start. It just kind of freaks me out because you're alone up there. Of, course, should something happen, what's the plan. Anyway. I am always happy things turned out okay. I am such a scare- de cat Jonathan. I have never cross country skied. Looks like a lot of work in comparison to downhill. It sounds like a fun thing to do. Thank you so much for taking me a long. Great content as always!🌴🌵🏖️🦂🐟🐬🙂
