1985 Chevy K30 m1008 Military Truck 6.2 Diesel ***COLD START***

[@lornejespersen4774]

I had a 86 GMC 2500. It the glow plugs were good it would easily start in -30 degree weather even without using a block heater. No need to cycle the glow plugs the glow plugs the second time. I never used ether. Great little truck.

[@Slim_Slid]

In the colder weather,I usually have dealt with the Glow Plugs or the Solenoids if it has one hell of a start up after a few times,main reason why I always get a Block Heater.Either way,I love these CUCV's,I have owned up to a dozen M1008-M1031's at this point one by one.These Trucks are the reason how I found out and got a favor for the N/A 6.2L.

[@doubledeuce5084]

Never use ether if your glow plugs are working. Make sure they are disconnected first.

[@laquine2]

Probably want to get those glow plugs replaced. I have an M1009 and it used to have real hard starts even in our "cold" california weather. Pulled them out and tested them and found 5 of them dead. Just went and replaced all eight and it starts up very quickly now.

[@codyscharffbillig1405]

Actually the glow plug solenoid is bad, replacing it today. I will eventually do the glow plugs also. Thank you for commenting!

[@gearhead9943]

Subscribed! Awesome channel! Please make more cold starts of your 6.2... and maybe next time show us what you’re doing on the throttle pedal too. Such a cool sounding truck!

[@codyscharffbillig1405]

Gearhead thank you for subscribing! And yes I will make more, also in the summer will be making videos of wrenching on it hopefully.

[@kevinrichards3288]

I don't see many of those generation Chevy & GMC trucks out on the roads anymore like I use to back in the day.

[@codyscharffbillig1405]

Kevin Richards I’m a young guy, never got to experience them on the roads when they were brand new, wish I could have!

[@cedarlaneenterprises6258]

says right on the air cleaner to not use starting fluids etc . Fix that engine , it should start up no problem in the cold

[@djverhulst]

check the glow plugs ,,, that wil help start the truck better

[@bcouri1]

need to tee off one of those vacuum lines into the cab so you can spray ether while sitting in the cab haha

[@codyscharffbillig1405]

Pool of tone haha genius!!

[@harrylester5022]

Cuando usa éter no es necesario calentar hay que detonar lo de una vez con la llave antes que se disipe el éter. Por otro lado el calentar puede hacer que se incencie con el éter. Por último cambie esa bujías incandecentes que no trasmiten más que hielo🥴🍺🍺🍺😵‍💫😵💨

[@jerryhubbard4461]

If you are going to use starting fluid. lay it to it. That little quiet if for lawn mowers.

[@Jimmy-ts1og]

You need to do 3 time cycle glow plug will start faster

[@brookewoody8620]

Looks like you need new glow plugs starter works good tho

[@mattlane2282]

Fuel issue

[@adamprice4177]

You shouldn’t be using starter fluid also, what kind of boots are those?

[@roastingpeanuts]

Nice 6.2 tho

[@ChevyGuy78]

[@AirborneRenegade]

Love the sound of the Detroit two strokes. They’re amazing engines.

[@mr._gator1284]

6.2 is not 2-stroke. It’s a 4-stroke indirect-injection diesel

[@AnthonyGman]

Needs glow plugs

[@joelrhymer4992]

I had an 85 K10 with the 6.2L diesel. It was good on fuel but a total POS and wouldn't pull a greased string out of a cats ass. I remember we were in the Ozark hill around Branson, MO and my friend passed me going up hill with his little Ford Ranger while he was pulling a 17' bass boat....lol....mind you I had the diesel toe nailed.

[@mblake0420]

1008 don't have truetrac front

[@sckiller]

Just curious. What did you pay for this old girl?

[@codyscharffbillig1405]

Traded my 79 firebird for it

[@FirstGendodgegarage]

What kinda sketchy starter button is that lol

[@AlexanderJScheu]

Cody Scharffbillig _ May I recommend, mixing 3-6% gas = into diesel tank in deep minus cold wintertime. f.i.:(-minus -28-Grade-Celsius) Same is used by Nato-vehicles as =Winter-diesel (Warning - not *Too much - because danger - burning) - So it's cheapest - not necessary spend money any other silly experiments as Third Persons talking. Since Dekades we uses for vehicles, hunting in East-Europe. Learned by experiences Armed-Forces-Germany and -Russians.... - and / or .. be sure 100% = take out the 'Batteries - storage overnight in your house. Gentleman, thanks for Attention, Greetings from Germany, wishing You health and Luck.

[@AnthonyGman]

[@RMM1983-ec4pg]

[@chrissyeaston5902]

[@detroitdiesel-vu3ig]
