If you fully cycle the glow plugs, it would probably fire right up. If it's that cold, itll take almost 2 minutes to cycle them. The light is just a reminder that they are cycling. It doesnt mean they are done when the light goes out. If you look closely, you'll actually see your voltage meter jump when they stop

You know I have one of those seven three trucks like that it's an F250 and that truck is at 250,000 miles I bought it 10 years ago I'll never ever have to buy another truck in my life again cuz it's so dependable engine truck and and the nice thing is I even stuck a dime into it since I bought it other than Tires and Brakes

Seems to be a fairly normal start for -20 and not plugged in. I'm surprised it started that easily. Hard winter starting is exactly the reason they have a block warmer.

@nathanheaverlo9626 5 жыл бұрын

I'm guessing this is a non US 7.3 truck. I drove a 1999 F-550 with a 7.3 powerstroke, but the fuel gauge read E and F, not the circles on this fuel gauge. Really wish Ford would bring a modern 7.3 to market, those engines are so bulletproof and capable!

I’ve got a 1997 7.3 and it’s been starting up without being plugged in with only one glow plug working. We just checked and found out it was the glow plugs and replaced them Jan 5th. It didn’t like starting but it did start with only one glow plug on days with it being 22 in the morning.

Why is it that every engine related to International never seems to miss much after it actually "starts"? DT466, once cylinder fires, they all fire and run smooth as if it was warm. Same goes for most 7.3.

Try letting the fuel system cycle even after the wait to start light goes off, you can hear the pump right up in the dash, when it stops pumping turn her over and she'll fire right up

Unless you hear a slight high pitched whine, that sound is not even close to the fuel pump located under your left elbow straight down on the rusty frame rail. You my friend, I think that you are hearing your vacuum pump needlessly pumping away for your faulty 4x4 system, or your HVAC dash controls, no?

with these huei systems you hit the glow plugs onces unless you have bad ones and stand on the starter for 10-15sec if it doesn't offer to light rinse and repeat it needs to crank to get the high pressure oil pressure up enough to fire the injectors and a lot of 7.3's leak down if not driven every day so you get an air bubble and they buck and snort

Not to be a naysayer, but how does that help? I thought the main issue is cold air+cold combustion chamber=low combustion temps which prevents diesel fuel ignition in cold weather situations. I may be wrong, which is why I'm asking.

mines a late as well, but doesnt have this cluster. if i remember right, the 99s were mixed up. some that count as early had late model engines, some early models had late badges, some late had early badging. some late had early engines, i think the same goes for interior. part of that i think had to do with some of the retooling, and just using old stock. of course also my late 99 was the start for the L99 so im not surprised to have some early parts.
