It is also smart to not rev the motor on a cold start. Let the motor warm up on its own. Also, do not crank the starter for more than 10 seconds at a try or you may burn up your starter.

"It is also smart to not rev the motor on a cold start" - most ECU's are doing it themshelves. They are reving up above 1500rpm sometimes (not like in the video, the dude was like above 2500rpm which is just damaging to the engine!). Ins some harsh conditions and at older engines you have no choice than to rev it, to keep it running. But you might need some clue how to do it properly, most ppl are lugging the engine which is pretty bad (especially if it has a turbo charger!). "Also, do not crank the starter for more than 10 seconds at a try or you may burn up your starter." - in old cars (80's and older) yes, you're right. In later cars 90's up until today there is no issue with that. I had revs for over 30 seconds (during cold start in the Alps) and my 1.9 TDI starter hasn't had any issues with it. You want to get compression work into the engine since it is heating it up as well. ^^

I learned this while traveling in north parts of Iowa and Upper Michigan, every night b4 I went to sleep i would get out of my nice warm hotel, climb into the diesel pickup, start it up and let it run for 10-20min, then go to sleep. This helps with the engine being started 7 hours later

That's how you rust out the whole exhaust system.

First of all you put a block heater in the truck and plug it in to warm the oil. That helps tremendously. Secondly you put the world's best synthetic oil in the engine. Buy Amsoil synthetic oil it will be a great help. On the Canadian prairies where temperature can occasionally as low as -50C we just don't shut the trucks off when it's ridiculous cold. If you had a Ford F 350 7.3 litre diesel engine you'd burn 3 or 4 litres over night, that's a heck lot of cheaper than not getting it started. Most highway truckers on the prairies leave the trucks running 24 hours a day. Now if you are really smart you leave the cold weather behind and go on holidays in the tropics till the weather warms up.

Train locomotives idle 24-7 too.

And that's why I have a diesel fired block heater on my truck. If that fails I also have a Honda propane powered genny that can plug into the electric block heater, but after using the Espar for 17 winters, it still works like a champ. 30 minutes for 100 to 140 degrees depending on how close to below 0 it is. Truck starts like it's in Miami.

Besides a strong battery, good oil viscosity appropriate for the cold is critical. The coolant is critical as well.

I have a Dodge 2500 with the V-10 gas engine. I live in Southwest, Alaska where it usually drops to around -35* F. I have 150W heaters on the transmission and engine oil pans, a 1500W recirculating heater for the engine block, an 80W battery blanket, 25W heater on the power steering pump reservoir, and a small trickle charger for the battery. Never had any problems. Had I a diesel? I'd run all of the above and a fuel tank heater.

Block heaters are pretty much standard equipment throughout much of Canada, just as A/C is in the States. I understand in the high Arctic they will sometimes run heavy equipment on jet fuel because it resists jellification at extremely low temperatures much better than diesel fuel.

In the arctic and the oil patch, the service trucks have heat trace lines to plug into the blocks of the cold equipment to warm the block up. It can be a bit hard on the block getting hot coolant on a snap frozen engine block, but sometimes that's the only way you'll get your equipment started

Make 2 -3 or more the key to open the lamp and after start , many greetings from Greece we don't so cold here but I right because I have the same problem with a car here.

i would not rev that engine at that temperature. actually, i would buy a dipstick block heater or just start it and let it idle until warmed up. im impressed that it started. must be using some pretty light engine oil....

4stroke engines rule.

Funny enough, in many US diesel pickups like my 05 dodge ram 2500 5.9 cummins, instructions specifically say after engine starts, depress accelerator bringing rpms up to 1000 rpm then return accelerator to idle position and allow engine to run 30 seconds or longer. However, reving the snot out of a cold diesel above 1000 rpms for more than a few seconds is just plain dumb. And just remember folks, many older trucks, especially semis, dont have grid heaters or glow plugs.

Lol u got that right!!!! I love the extreme vold start up then revving the shit out of it, lol.

Why no block heaters? I lived in Nome Alaska for 10 years and you need a block heater when it's -40°. You are prematurely wearing out the engine by forcing it to start.

I have a old 2001 Ford E-350 with a 7.3 here in Canada and winters are not so fun. I always buy new glow plugs every few years and make sure my batterys are great but on those cold mornings she coughs a lot toll it wormed up.

Just wondering do American diesels have no preheat? Either glow plugs or hot wire in the manifold with diesel spray onto it ? European/British big diesels seem to have better cold start?

@michaelmurray7199

They usually have glow plugs. There’s an indicator light on the dash that either looks like a coil, or says “wait to start”. Once that indicator light goes out, then you can attempt to start it. If it’s really cold out, say below freezing or sub-zero temps, it may be necessary to cycle the glow plugs several times by turning the key from “On” to “Acc”.

I always liked Diesel engines more miles to the gallon

First few tries are only to bring up engine oil and therefore don’t have to last long. Pause for a while , before the final try

Problem is either bad glow plug(s) or a weak battery. If the battery is 5-7 years old, it only may have about ~60% health left, with temperatures at -30°C this drops to 30% or less, which may not be enough. Let alone batteries 7-10 years old. Good glow plugs and batterie would easily start a v6 diesel at -30°C i suppose.

Years ago I filmed a cold start video of my truck, and despite being single digit temps and not being pluugged in, it started just as easy as a warm summer day. Now, the N14 Cummins that was in my old Daycab semi, I'd have to plug it in overnight and spray it with ether to get it to start.

On my Volkswagen diesel i would heat the oil pan with propane torch even the injectors...

Its there so difficult and mouting a fuelheater and make the start much better..and the startmotor livning much longer..

Ether. Just be careful or your engine will get hooked on the stuff 😂

Some marketers like to tell 80% (I've seen claims as high as 95%) of an engine's wear is at startup. What they don't tell is where that wear occurs... and the hint I'm willing to give is it's not anywhere engine oil will reach unless your rings are bad.

Just think, if you kept the smaller trucks under cover, how much easier they would start. Why they even keep railway locomotives in sheds. Mining trucks, well they are rather large for your average garage.

It’s 40- my dad did a cold start

Rev the snot out of it while the oil is thicker than honey! It's hard enough on gas engine's unless you use Cosby sauce on both. Even worse on a diesel because oil is not flowing.

Yes....more gas power on a cood Start 😵‍💫🔨

Anyone keep a can of ether on their truck, especially an ice-cold Dee-troit 2-stroke?

If you are consistently starting an engine at -30c with no block heating its life will be greatly reduced of course !

I think it’s got push button start, or it requires you to brake to use the key. Lots of VW’s of that era are like that.

Dear channel owner! Where r u from?

not very smart to hit the revs inmediatly after a cold start

Synthetics are the only way to go go.

A cold start means that the engine is cold to the touch is a true cold start it could be 80 degrees out and the vehicle is sitting and not driven and it’s hard to start for the older vehicle that’s a cold hard start not cold weather

Keep Devin up your vs watch piston fly
