Haha 😂

Someone didn't want to work in the cold lol

She said 'oh hell no'. Not today!!! Gonna need booster pack on that battery lol

The beauty of having so many cars on the property is I just hopped in another haha 😂

Lol or realized he's gotta be on either spray duty out in the cold

Oh man it was wild cold this morning haha

@@highostablegarage why not just slap a set of glow plugs in? i put some in my 6.9 this spring with a new controller and i have already got 2 -30 days to start

I think of that every time I hope in the truck haha 😂

Peg is the Mintiest man in Canada a true national treasure...this guy is on his way up too

Haha 😂

True no start

Maybe it will start in the spring

um starting by a can isn't a cold start.

@@mchl8 no like a cold start that doesn't start lol it always stated before an it's the first time it does that

Poor champ haha 😂

When is was going to school I remember if you could get the seat 3/4s of the way back you would sit on the heater and at least not freeze haha

@@highostablegarage Yep, that's the heating system on those old diesel school buses alright.

the head zoomed right past voyager 2 and voyager 1 haha

Very true, the trans oil is like syrup haha

Mix tape time haha 😂

It has one but people love the cold starts haha

The second part of " cold starts " implies that it starts in the videos

@@VitoVeccia and a block heated start is not a cold start

Block heater starts are better than summer starts

@@VitoVeccia very true haha 😂

Peg is awesome, been watching that guy since middle school haha

Very very true, sometimes it will stall the engine out of you leave it clutch out haha 😂

Not if the tranny's in neutral.... He didn't let the glow plugs cycle out b4 cranking the starter either...

@@jeffbridgman7973 I think he had them on while he was giving it some ether. I thought I heard the solenoid clicking on and off before he closed the hood.

@@jeffbridgman7973 If the oil's cold enough it'll drag like you wouldn't believe... ever hear the term 'constant mesh'? Gears are always in contact, always churning that dinosaur syrup even if they aren't connected to the tailshaft...

It really was haha 😂

@Higho Stable Garage I miss my old square body idi bronco and my old cummins. Those things were tanks

😄😄

when the glow plugs work they start pretty good, if not they aren't very happy haha xD

Haha not a bad idea

Me too haha

Pretty much haha 😂

There is nothing, in this world, more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of a ether binge. 😁

Lol

Little red line fur a good time

Cosby sauce?!?!?! Fucking yes!!!! Lolololol!!!! Madey night!!! Lolol

Haha 😂

Haha 😂

It real thick haha, let alone the heat oil haha 😂

Cave man style haha, backyardalaskan does it that way sometimes with his old iron, it’s pretty wild

@@highostablegarage remembering my old man telling about doing it during some extra harsh winters to get the tracktor going to mow the snow😅

@@highostablegarage *scratch head* Couldn't someone yank the air filter and just point a propane torch down the intake? Might be a little oxygen deficient but you're gonna get the intake path and chambers warm pretty quick. Unless the real issue is the fuel's gelled in the injector lines.

Haha 😂

Haha yeah it gets real thick haha 😂

Never ignited in the video, it was so cold that day everything was like syrup haha 😂

Pretty much haha 😂

He sure was haha

It’s a beauty

None on this old truck

You’re not wrong, but I’m just lazy in the morning haha

And I don’t want to be that arm chair mechanic either, but by spaying a dump load in before cranking will this not kill the battery faster 🤷‍♂️ You have a massive load on the battery/started when it’s trying to fire on the wrong stroke, like pre ignition. I don’t use either much but when I do I try spray as close to the head as I can and spray squirts when cranking,

spraying through the filter works fine, it also prevents the motor from taking too much ether at once and blowing up. I've been driving truck for 30 years and that's how you start old school truck diesels when really cold. stand on the running board of your old pete with ether in one hand and ignition in the other, crank while spraying the air filter. thankfully I didn't have to do it often, but no one is going to disassemble the air filter on a semi when it's 20 below zero Fahrenheit

​@@kerryharrell8821 I've driven them ole trucks and that's the method I use also

5.9s start without grid heaters In the cold, idis however need almost life support to get running when it’s not summer haha 😂

@@highostablegarage bro who would be stupid enough to remove a grid heater?! 😂 also the ford obviously needs live support lol . that’s it’s whole purpose of a grid heater is to heat up the air for starting , also I did remove mine, and posted a video about it, then put it back on, all it does is kill your batteries , mine still started right up though without it after 5 seconds

I’ve heard that before, no uncommon for the old trucks to have a million idle hours haha 😂

@@highostablegarage well when I was rigging up in the patch we'd leave our rig up trucks running on location, because those trucks had to go from before daylight to after dark, getting those big rigs moved and rigged back up, and another reason I've seen those trucks brakes frozen up and if you get lucky and get it running you can't move it with all the brakes frozen, so we'd leave them run with the brakes off those heavy trucks weren't going to roll away on those gravel locations we blocked them anyway, and we put alcohol in the air tanks to keep the lines from freezing up

it's coming back, soon to be freezing here, another two months

Very true I’m just lazy haha 😂

I appreciate it

Not a bad idea haha

I’m one of a kind haha

Very right, It's more of me being a little lazy in the morning, font want to climb in the cab unless its running haha

... it's a diesel, it's all air all the time.

@@mfree80286 you should give search and rescue a call as soon as possible. Because you are lost 😆

Fair enough haha

It need the juice haha 😂

It sure helps haha

@@highostablegarage been running a 1991 7.3 idi for years now. Need 2 strong batteries and block heater but they run great

Go save it haha

@@highostablegarage I have to replace the head gasket and a few other little things that’s about it

Can’t beat it

Pretty much xD

Big bang very true haha

Haha pretty much

I see people leaving their diesel pickups running in the store parking lot on a pleasant summer evening. I think there must be some kind of rule that requires that or something.

Haha awesome

Could be rich if they were for sale haha 😂

Haha 😂

Poor old fella

@@highostablegarage I could almost feel the heat coming off the starter by the end.

@@Shawn_the_Protogen hehehe, run the intake hose end down to the starter housing...

@@mfree80286 LOL, that would be a hilarious use of the starter motor heat

almost haha

Helps it not be such a big hit of ether with the cleaner on

It was pretty chilly that day haha

Oops haha

No operating glow plugs in this video, and yes you are correct with the lid but doing it everyday a couple times a fella tends to get lazy haha 😂

@@highostablegarage I have the luxury of clamps on the airfilter. :)

No plugs on this old gal haha

@@highostablegarage what year that truck?

Haha 😂

No in between, it’s either first or it’s last haha 😂

They can start even without grid heaters in the cold, the old idis cannot haha 😂

Try an old 5.9 12v. My old ford f800 wouldn't start in 40 degree weather until the sun hit the hood.

Congratulations

I’m curious how cold it gets where you live. I have started my 7.3 down to -31 but it usually doesn’t get any colder than that around here

Haha 😂 deboss garage actually tried that, didn’t work sadly

Ended up building a new starting system for it but that day I took the girlfriends car haha

You’re not wrong haha

I’ll give it a try haha

@@highostablegarage nice, for the hilux (2.4ltr 2L engine) half a second of spray in the intake was more than enough, bit pingey. So id guess 1 second would be plenty on a big 8, let me know how you go 👌

Bug spray is meant exclusively for use in air cooled Volkswagens, do not attempt to use it in any other type of vehicle.

@@damonthomas8955 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@damonthomas8955 i cant tell if this is a vw beetle joke, or if there is actually a spray marketed for them (im imagining something like subaru upper engine cleaner) 😂 in any case, im talking about a can of mortien

I understand where you are coming from, but it's still a cold start, engine is cold, cab is cold, even the ether can is cold haha. It's alright though, tomorrow I have a special surprise for the morning, you'll be happy with the result.

I mean i guess even though starting fluid combusts easier than diesel or gas since it has a much lower octane rating that either fuel, It’s still considered a cold start because of the other variables you mentioned. Honestly, and i could be wrong but i believe Diesel is quite a bit lower octane than gas so perhaps it’s a similar octane rating to starting fluid? To be honest, though, I would say it’s more impressive to see a diesel engine being cold started vs a gas engine especially when it’s old enough to not have glow plugs. Also, I don’t know the specifics, but I would have to think since diesels are compression ignition, when its really cold out its that much harder to get the fuel to combust vs just having a spark to cause combustion in a gas engine. I’m assuming that has something to do with the density of the fuel and the air? If you crank a carbureted gas engine too long, it could flood, I’m not saying you flooded it cause obviously it fired off a couple times, but if you just kept cranking it assuming the starter wouldn’t burn up and you have enough battery juice would it eventually start? maybe even it was turning over slowly also?

The whole can haha

It has 7 more haha 😂

Haha

Door seal isn’t the best haha 😂

haha

Don’t think so haha 😂

Right

considering it starts fine without the ether when I use the glow plugs I think you are wrong

6.9s had an issue with the block heaters cracking the blocks, depending on your casting number plugging it in can ruin the engine, I’m not sure the number on this engine so I’ve never risked it

@@highostablegarage Lots of room under the hood you can use a recirculating coolant heater. Easy to install & takes much less time to heat up than a conventional block heater. If the glow plugs are good that truck would start easily with a recirculating heater.

WD40 haha 😂

The pump is gear drive, same principle and drinking water or a triple thick milkshake through a straw, resistance to flow can be a crazy drag when cold

@@highostablegarage Yes but my point was the starter has enough of a mechanical advantage for it to not take effect, for example do you notice any power increase when moving to thinner oils or vise versa? I doubt it because when the oil pump put into more stressful situations like thicker oil or higher rpm they produce more pressure, they don't lug down the engine to a anywhere near noticeable degree. And besides my bigger point was fix your glow plugs if they're broken, it'll make everything easier.

Haha 😂

Possibly haha

Haha a bit 😂

Starts on its own in the summer

Very true, reroute all power to main thrusters haha 😂

They sometimes run em off a big cliff in Alaska for entertaining

They do just this one hasn’t had them since I’ve bought it

@@highostablegarage ah fair enough.

We weren’t going very far but a little underdressed haha

That would spin over quick haha

Might aswell run atf haha 😂

No I do haha
