You're the one who helped others out! Me included. Thank you, and glad you like the videos.

The 4BT never came with a grid heater to my knowledge. The grid heater on this engine is for a 6BT. It took minimal engineering to put on the 4BT. Good point!

Great point!

I have an older video of starting the truck at -10 F without any aids. It was not happy but started. I may do another this winter.

@@RustyJunkExhibition oh cool, i’ll go watch it

I will have to do a video on this topic. Too much to explain through text. Coming soon.

The 453 isn't powerful enough, too heavy, and too expensive, but would be so cool if I wanted a novelty of a truck. I was also looking into 6V53's, but again, huge weight, and expensive. We'll see. I'd like to do a diesel swap on this truck, but that's not all that is in store for Square Junk Harry. Big changes coming!

That’s cool and you Probably already know this but the 6v53 also came in a aluminum block harder to find but are out there

You are on the same internet as the rest of us. Use yer brain. Cummins grid heater. Cummins grid heater solenoid.

The engine makes 485 foot pounds of torque to the wheels. It hauls trailers very nicely. The chassis is rated to haul around 9000 pounds. I have done more.

Yes, down to -30 F so far. I use an additive and the winter blend diesel we get in the North West can handle cold temps. The only times it will gel is if there's water in the fuel.

No such thing as a free puppy pahtna... considering the pres - elect... might not be a bad option ... The BTs .. IDIs and even 7.3 powerstrokes will pretty much eat anything ya stuff down their throat holes... make sure the lubrication is there when you’re making your blend

@@b.a.lineman7582 You are most definitely right about not being free!!! Have to work for anything and everything you get but the way things are going in this country your not going to be able to do that without offending somebody. But we won’t open that can of worms. Lol

I worked on a VW TDI with a waste oil conversion. It was run in Upstate New York, so it is possible to do in colder climates. It is a cool concept meant for long run times with two complete fuel systems. The veggie tank had an electric heater, coolant lines ran down the veggie fuel lines to make sure they stayed warm, and it was started and shut off on diesel fuel to prevent gelling. It's a lot of work, especially gathering, storing, and, making the fuel.

@@RustyJunkExhibition yeah from the research I’ve done gathering and filtering the oil would be the biggest problem but just the thought of driving long distance without paying for fuel is enticing to say the least. I don’t know what fuel prices are where you live but here in Alabama it’s about 2.29 a gallon and it’s hurting my pocket book. Lol. If you don’t mind saying what is mpg on your old Ford? My 2004 dodge is not bad at 23 mpg average but it’s also been deleted. Love the Cummins engines and wish they were in every vehicle on the road. Lol

Don’t do it. Veggie conversion are garbage. I’ve helped multiple friends build systems for IDI trucks and the whole thing isn’t worth the time or money investment. Especially now that it’s harder to get good clean oil.
