I vaguely remember seeing it, and thinking, boy that looks like a lot of work!

Looks good!

We got 20f this morning. Was a little hard to start.

 

[turbonitrous]

Yeah but the amazing thing is they start in cold temps… mine starts better than my 7.3 powerstroke, to be fair I need to do glow plugs but for an engine with no heaters they fire up in the cold

Nothing a block heater wouldn't cure.

Nothing a block heater wouldn't cure.

For sure, and I have one but when she’s down in the non powered barn it’s great she starts

My 7.3 has no problems staring when it's 0 degrees with 5w40 oil. I have started it as low as -18f. Obviously this is with everything working properly.

 

[turbonitrous]

Yeah I gotta get on that… I have glow plugs, wire harness for valve covers etc all sitting in the garage…I should get those installed eh?

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Yup.

Ether makes it start right up with no issues. I am gonna put an ether injector on so i just push a button. Dont want to open hood in cold and snow.

Maybe when i get the compounds done i can have access through grill to intake. The injector would be better long term.

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Yes, the injector would be better for sure.

Headed home!
