1982 F150 cold start fail. PT2

I love your cold start videos. Hope you will do some more this winter. Would love to see what your truck is like pulling up really steep hills as well. What's it pull like when the engine's really cold?

@@robinprice4877 thanks bud, means a lot. I’ll definitely have more this winter. And by pull you mean like towing a trailer right?

@@ICGarchive Hey mate, Thanks for your reply. I don't know what you use the truck for so I was wondering what it's like if you come to a really steep hill either pulling a trailer or with a heavy load. Also wondered what the engine's like when it's really cold? Would it struggle if you had to pull away up a really steep hill?

@@robinprice4877 the I6 is a fairly capable engine but definitely has its limits. Mine has 2:75 gears and it’s a short box so it’s not much of a towing rig. I towed about 2800 pounds with it about a month ago and it did ok but not great. Didn’t like the hills much. A set of 4:10 gears would help it out but then I’d have a hard time just cruising at 65 and it’d completely kill the gas mileage.
