Just a friendly reminder, cummins engines dont have glow plugs its got a grid heater. It heats the air that comes into the engine. less maintenance then glow plugs.
Agreed. My 1990 with 550K on the clock starts right up faster than that new thing even at -20. Regardless I always plug them in when it's below 40 because it's much easier on the engine, injection pump, and other parts.
First thought wow ANDRE has a beautiful house. 2nd. I bet neighbors loved seeing a honkn truck pull in. 3rd. Im a GM guy with my 2018 ltz hd. But dangggg that interior is very sharp! Really liking all 3 HDs everyone offers. I think no one could pick a bad one, just depends on personal taste anymore!
Guys, guys, guys enough with these "cold start" videos when it's not cold enough to make it fun to watch. every car of any age I've ever had starts above zero. So it's not really worth a video until if gets down below -30F which is when you can see cars having a bit of issue. Below -40 a lot more start having issues etc. 1F above is not cold.
@@dedalliance1 yep. I too live in MT and remember that cold week a few year back. My 12 valve had a hard time starting even when plugged in. My new gen 4 cummins starts up in subzero temps. The 12 valve wouldn't start below 7F.
My 2004 5.9 250k miles starts easily at that temp after I installed brand new Bosch injectors and a new cp3 which puts out 4500 psi when starting and gets 22 + mpg. Best truck ever!
Im a Ram guy and I'm use to the cross-hair grill. The 5th gen Ram looks good it still has the semi truck look and attitude to it but I was hoping for a grill that was a little more less in your face. With that being said though, it's a great looking truck it still has legendary Cummins power which is always a good thing "6 in a row, ready to tow"
That was a good test Andre, if you listen close and watch the tach in the video, it did stumble a bit before she fired, just like a good ol cold cummins would. Great test to leave em sit in the cold for a long time before doing a start! However, i do recommend using the block heater in the future
When I lived in CO a couple of years ago it got down to 0 for a week, my 16 fired up every time without being plugged in, glow plugs are for old Ford’s. When you do the remote start you can hear it doing it’s magic, even turns on the defroster and heated mirrors for you.
I started one at the dealership at -15 F. It took about 30 seconds to start and a while to warm up and sound good. EcoDiesel started right away. Neither were plugged in.
NATHAN CLUTS ummm why do I need to learn about it when I already know how they work? I suppose you didn’t put a pronoun before the word “need,” so who knows who you were talking about.
NATHAN CLUTS wtf, if you have a point to make, just say it. Are you saying I’m lying and it never started? It started quicker than what I’m saying? Please tell me, because I do have a video of it.
Door opens" step works" dashboard lights up" center touch screen it's not cracked " lol. 1°, brand new truck. what a challenge!!! Edit) and he's really impressed !!
No waiting on my 2017 F350 dually with 6.7 in negative degrees. It's amazing how these motors start right up without needing to be plugged in. I also have 2 2014 Kenworth flat bed 20ft medium duty trucks with Cummings motors and they must be plugged in or at least diesel additive added to start easily. I think as time go's on these 1 ton trucks to medium duty trucks will come close to sales numbers as big rigs, so much light duty work that these trucks fit nicely into. I'm starting to see more of these light duty trucks on the roadways hauling cars, containers, equipment and farm animals. Many uses while being much more comfortable and keeping within strict federal regs. It's a matter of time to see how long they last and cost to fix...
Nothing wrong with Nokians. They are like the new Hankooks. Michelins aren’t what they used to be, and Contis and BfG’s are bubbling/separating junk. All our tires will be made in China soon, anyway!
Just came to say that these are engineered products specifically targeted to North American conditions. Thus, it is designed to start in North American temps (hot and cold). People who live in Canada and Alaska will buy these too. So yes, it will start in conditions colder than the one you were in. It will start in Death Valley and Fairbanks.
I’ve started my 2003 Cummins more then a few times @ -20F (actual not windchill) without plugging in. My previous 1990 Cummins would start at zero but not much below. But I never attempted unless a plug-in wasn’t available. Why not just plugin when you can. Your little willie won’t get bigger if your truck cold starts without plugging in
Hi, I'd just like the be the 1000th person to comment on this video saying that the Cummins uses a grid heater, not glow plugs...just in case you missed the other 999 people that ALREADY mentioned it! Lol
Redline is at roughly 3000rpm. I've never seen that before. Basically, this engine is never stressed because it's always at low RPMs. Well done Cummins.
Bigger the enginer = lower rpm. 1.6 corolla diesel redlines at 5000rpm, 6.7 cummins at 3000, and some bigger like Detroit diesel V12 redlines at 1500rpm.
Well actually the scr (wich uses def to work) filters out NOx. The doc (diesel oxydation catalyst) and dpf (diesel particle filter) filters out the black smoke
I have a 1999 F450 7.3 diesel and I had to cold start it last week several times in North Dakota which was -30 and it was not plugged in. Worst part was I had biodiesel in my tank from last fill up and it started up no issues.
I am hoping for that. I am in northern maine. Diesel is still for the eccentric lunatic. I had to be dragged away since the 6.2 diesels in the 80s... waiting and waiting and waiting. I am a diesel guy that never owned one for every day...not counting that vw rabbit. ;)
RobShutt357 it does speed up the process of warming the engine up. I have one on my ‘06 and it’ll bring the engine up to temperature in about 5 mins or so, instead of idling for forever.
Cummins have never had issues starting in the cold or altitude. The original B5.9 could sometimes be a slight pain, particularly at altitude and cold, in the very early days (80's). All ISB and forward models will start even if you don't wait for the grid heaters. Of the Big 3, the 7.3L Fords were probably the worst, particularly with elevation mixed in with cold.
I love the good ol 7.3 but I have to agree with you that they are pretty bad at cold starts. Same goes for my 6.0 and Challenger tractor. Out of those two, my Challenger with a Perkens diesel was the worst at cold starting.
I have a 01 dodge ram 3500 with over 407,000 miles original never touched. Twenty yrs later. Yep! Starts on a dime like the day I bought brand New. I keep fuel filter changed 10 to 15 thousand miles oil every three thousand and air twice a yr. Oil stays clear as a bell from day one. Still today 2022 great truck. Everything else falls apart though lol. Dash is junk. But runs and drives like the day I bought brand new.
yes every Cummins I've ever owned, I never had a problem starting ,I have a new 2019 just like that 400Hp high output my 99 , I had to start it to go to work and back for a week -20deg just cut the fuel with 5 gal of Kerosene
Um as a diesel mechanic I am pretty sure they don’t use glow plugs. I’m pretty sure they use a grid heater if I’m wrong this is a Mandela effect and I’m not in my actual reality.
Umm yea common rail direct injected diesels dont have glow plugs, havent for about 2 decades now at least. The grid heater is what hes talking about. And with the rams set the park brake then press cruise control button then the set button and it will high idle, then from there use the + or - on the cruise control buttons to raise it up to 1500 rmp max, helps with the cold weather warm ups.
I always use the remote start in the winter. It allows the truck to start on its own taking the guess work out of of pushing that that start button. It's just a preference of mine. Good luck
Heck. I drive a 2013. Live above 10,000 feet, and drive the gauntlet every day at 3am. 1 degree is nothing! It's that every morning at my house many times of the year.
Not even a big deal. -14c was literally the average temperature in my area last month. If my 2006 Santa Fe can do it, I doubt this truck would ever have a problem. Especially in just a couple of days
Justin Ruehl this is also a much more powerful vehicle and is geared for towing versus off-roading if someone has to tow 14k plus on the regular, they aren’t going to purchase a damn raptor. This truck has a payload of somewhere between 4-7k lbs while the raptor has a payload lower than my dodge Dakota. So shut up
Ok, you've been teasing me with all these videos and I decided on the new Ram to replace my 06 Ram. Not because my truck isn't bad azz but because I'm not legal when towing my 44' rv. Question is, now that I made up my mind, where are the trucks? When are they arriving at the dealerships? By the way, love the videos, thanks.
Wow, a sticker price of $87K and we have to ask if it will start. I wonder if it will roll. Don't get me wrong, I like what you guys do but these type videos are kind of lame.
it all depends on the additives in the fuel. back in the days here in eastern europe if you owned a diesel car you needed to put some petroleum/gas (not much, like 1l for a 50 liter tank) into the tank if you wanted to drive in winter.
This must be a diesel only thing, I have a gasoline ram and it was starting with a three year old battery at -52 celcius, not even plugged in. So i'm guessing you have to baby diesels in cool weather?
My 97 12 valve starts everytime i try even unplugged in cold, but it doesnt like it, usually takes 2-3 cranks if below 25°F, and then jt smokes and chugs for a good 5-10 minutes before it smooths out and idles nice, i believe this was the effect they were showcasing that it fires right up and no smoke or chugging
That would be because andre is Russian, Roman is American and never needed to know that stupid bullshit. This is 'MERICA we dont need that metric bullshit
No offense to this guy but i don’t really understand whats so interesting about starting newer diesels in the cold, of coarse its gonna start without a struggle. My 05 starts in -20 no problem, is it just me or does anyone else think its just more satisfying to see older diesel cold starts?
I'd take a '5 year old' interior that is good and has all the buttons right where I expect them to be when upgrading a truck to a new one, than some dumb 12" screen and 'fancy' leather.
Andre, I was wondering what transmission this truck has in it? I could be wrong but, I thought the vented diff covers came on the Aisin Trans and the regular diff covers came on the 68rfe trans? Is that correct? Does this truck have the 68rfe in it? Thanks for the video I am a huge fan of TFL!!
@@willevans6032 One of my dad's offices is in Willistan. When we went there the first week of April, it was so cold that I didn't even get out of the truck the first day down their. When he took the Powerjoke down there, he took his key with him (which he never does cause of the keyless entry), because he knew it would be cold the next morning.
@@occckid123 oh hey! man, i sure wish I knew that before posting. Use some logic. I said that because I couldnt remember the temp without wind chill which was somewhere around -30.
@@cschmi9624 I mean it could have easily been 100 mile per hour winds that day so if the windchill it would be -50 but the temperature would only be 10 above lol. Just saying...
@@cschmi9624 north Dakota gets 70mph winds sometimes when bad system come across the states so yes maybe . There were 60 mph winds in ny last week with no hurricane lol
OMG what a difference technology does make! I recall when I used to have to cold started my 1990's era Ford 350 with the Navistar engine,...holy moses, I had to wear hearing protection, for the LOUD clatter of that old style engine.
