Need more tire and less wheel then she will start

[@90sbuickguy84]

my thoughts exactly it would also improve the ride quality greatly and big rims like that in general on any vehicle I just don’t like I prefer big tires but if the stock rims and tires give the best ride quality I’ll leave those on

This was how mine started, before I replaced the glow plugs. Now she fires right off. Might want to replace them.

THANKS

[@shawnpettigrew7709]

Doesnt help he has no clue how to start the moment it fires he lets go. Hell my old dodge the Glow plugs didn't work right and got it started after 8 cycles and not letting go of the starter. Listen to the video the moment it fires he lets go. Not a hater just don't know what the hell your doing

[@fcdrummer1806]

@@shawnpettigrew7709 Well it’s not good to just leave the starter cranking until it fires. 1. Easiest way to drain the battery. 2. If the engine starts to fire and you keep cranking it, there is a risk of you shearing the gears off of your starter. 3. Keeping the starter pegged for like 30 seconds will burn the starter right out in minutes, stupid idea.

[@shaniceervin1465]

@@fcdrummer1806yup I did this before back in my ding dong days with my 77 F100. Broke a brand new starter. Luckily it was covered under warranty.

Man spin that thing over. 7.3 starters are indestructible

I destroyed 1 after cranking it all winter lol

[@reru_personal]

Hey, If you see this message and still have the truck, could you measure the total cab height for me, im curious how tall they are compared to more modern trucks

[@jakecalderon4950]

You need new glow plugs friend. I live in northern Idaho and even in single digit temps my 7.3 has never struggled this much. And I don’t ever plug mine in cause I’m on solar power so it’s a no go for me.

[@grammarpolice5554]

Who spends all that money and doesn’t swap out that crazy pinched cobra down pipe?

[@JosephRhodes-s4r]

Somebody was late for work lol

[@garythompson2101]

I am thinking $$$ should have been spent FIRST on NEW glow plugs, and probably injector cleaning (at minimum), plus verifying glow plugs actually work. Block heater being plugged in helps, but 23 degrees Fahrenheit is not really that cold!

[@robperkins2674]

new glow plugs.

[@stevendarveau2090]

Funny. My 24v 5.9 2s gen cummins starts up 1-2 starts even when its single digits no Bs. It aint got no glo plugs. I also dont plug anything in either. I let it sit for a 1 min then start. 99% of the time the first start starts it

A bottle of blinker fluid in fuel tank would help it start faster...🤣😂🤣😂😁

Do you wanna sell this truck? I don't like that the extended cab part don't open. That was a poor design by ford

[@anttikorhonen4990]

Go get new glowplugs then it starts right away..

[@stang28690]

Put some glow plugs in her. Only sounds like maybe 2 are working correctly. "Giggle juice" fries a 7.3.

[@ApolloTheDerg]

Glow plug relay, they fail so often, I’m on my 2nd this year

[@jassibrar8418]

I feel kind of dumb lol but giggle juice I'm guessing is starter fluid??

[@johnzadinya2181]

Everyone saying starting fluid "fries" a 7.3 has no idea what they're talking about. Heavy equipment has starting fluid aids that help in cold weather. Some are used daily and have thousands and thousands of hours on them. The reason it will cause damage is because the glowplugs are activated, or they use too much. Let the glowplugs turn off completely and then spray for 1 second that's all you need. Been using it for years on stuff never had an issue don't burn oil.

[@ГришаКостинян]

Lol

[@ericmadachik8058]

How many starters do you get to the gallon?

[@sav300]

Hey just fyi, glow plug relay does run for 2 minutes. Wait to start light doesn’t mean the plugs have went off. Really makes a difference if you let it run for 2 minutes instead of 30 sec. Of course glow plugs make a world of difference.

[@stang28690]

Correct!

[@robbiefrentz9427]

Thank you for that information I’ll try that this winter

[@Glitchedx3D]

Yes that is painful to watch knowing this.

[@leviconnour2896]

Yup just listen for the click

[@F8lastcallcharger345]

I attached a little blue LED light with my A-pillar gauge that lights up with the GPR. They do run for up to 2 minutes and when warm even if the wait to start light is on briefly the GPR will not activate

[@647pettiford]

Cant believe I just watched 10 minutes of a old truck not starting. But totally loved it! Time well spent.

My God ive had a 700.000 mile Detroit 60 start better in minus 40 cold not plugged in. Not happy but she clicked off.

[@shaneroper5470]

Gotta wait for heat radiation from those glow plugs. Switch 'em on and go for a coffee. Then come back and fire the cylinders.

[@jerrencutshaver939]

Why do you stop cranking as soon as it starts to fire, that’s your problem.

[@codyhanson9628]

Ya keep the ignition switch pinned until there’s fire

[@ajgurney5811]

Building oil pressure before starting it's how I do my 7.3 works well short crank to build oil pressure then long cranking

[@iansteward4708]

Was wondering the same thing…every damn time!

[@samuelisaac3067]

What a hater 😂

[@Atila643]

Bougie heater 🤔

[@asmrturbowhistlecalm8224]

If these trucks do not fire right up in the winter your either not letting the key on for 2 minutes after the wait to start light goes off , or your glow plug relay I shot or you have weak batteries . Cycling the key is absolutely useless and is not how the glow plug system works . Mines 350k miles , never ever doesn't start ..below freezing and all , fires right up . Do not cycle the key , it's not how it works

[@tyler5.068]

Needs some new glow plugs and injectors and she’ll start up on the first crank… had that problem with my truck.

[@Sasuke987654321555]

Loved watching your cold start, I have a 1994 f350 crew cab with 120 K miles and I have similar issues staring up in all kinds of weather. I live the lift on your truck and want to do the same to mine, how did you lift it and how many inches? Thanks and look forward to more videos.

[@jimmyboe25]

Its also straight axel swapped

[@jimmyboe25]

I turn the key then get back out handle the windows maybe check the oil get some eyes under the hood see I still got 4 wheels then come back and try cranking

[@chiphazzard8173]

Ya you need glow plugs and glow plugs are on for 2 min cycling the key doesn't help it and keep cranking once it pops off once don't stop. Never used Cosby sauce on mine, it'll start -20 not plugged in.

[@TheHollyshit123]

you should look into a high output starter, helped a lot w my 7.3 in the cold

[@crueljimi]

You need to give ample time to get the glow plugs glowing, up to 2 minutes not short cycles…

[@lovetocrank]

Maybe it’s just me, but I like some good cranking during a cold start! Love listening to the starter!

You gotta hold the key and crank for a little not 2 seconds and than shut off it’ll never start that way

Warm then globe plug a million an a half more times 😂. I only joke because I daily a 1996 7.3l in Canada, she don't even tic in -35

Stop cycling that key so much. Those glow plugs will run for up to two minutes. Mine would've had smoke the first crank.

[@devinbrita3770]

Dang that was rough to see at only low 20’s!! I wonder how she’d do at -50 where I’m at here in Alaska? 🧐

[@eliroling4452]

Mine starts right up until it’s below negative 10 then she gotta be plugged in and she still grumpy then

[@paulherzmann6237]

I’m sure I’m going to be sounding ignorant here. But even in 5° weather it takes me four or five cycles to start up my naturally aspirated 6.2 diesel. The 7.3 is awesome from what I’ve heard, having never owned one, but there’s probably something you need to change with the truck if it’s having such a hard time starting. Obviously glow plugs, and the relay for the 73 for starters, but then check out fuel injectors and shit

[@zKONAMPFALLEN]

It's more related to the injection style of these 7.3 engines because the pop from oil pressure and in the cold oil is really thick and doesn't move easy

[@oogaboooga9747]

you need to treat that old girl better. i have a 96 with 200k and will start in ten degree weather without block heater

[@billramsey7455]

You NEED the down pipe. It is crazy better than without it. I have one just like it.

[@jessewhite3824]

F the block heater dude. That thing needs glow plugs. 20 degrees isn’t even that cold

[@wizardindustriesusa]

Try running the truck the day before and put a blanket over the engine.

[@BigTexVet]

Most of the people made a comment on some important things. Like not stopping when it starts to crank, letting the glow plugs cycle for 2 minutes and also glow plugs in general. But please, don’t use starter fluid anymore on a diesel. A rag with a little bit of gasoline is all you need. Way safer on the motor.

[@rockcralwer]

Change your glow plugs. This is completely waste of time.

[@kylesweet8816]

Sitting here in Alaska and feeling really good about spending big money on the motor work. I’m at 300k miles and start in -20 not being plugged in. My last 7.3 tho was a different story needed ether and jumper cables when it was cold

[@febrezeyourself9981]

What motor did you make to help it start better in the cold?

[@randallsports8721]

Look into diesel heaters, about 1500$ Canadian but they keep your engine heating like a sunofabitc

[@randallsports8721]

Plus no cords

[@Weldingprobably]

Pretty truck, the fluid is gonna kill it though

[@thehiberic]

THAT ISNT A COLD START, THAT IS “WET” START

[@ApolloTheDerg]

My 400k mile truck starts turn key at 0 and below to my knowledge. Maybe like, change your glow plug relay lmao. They aren’t that fussy in the cold when the glows actually glow.

Deff something wrong with glow plugs or relay. Mine has sat in 0 degree weather for days and never struggled this hard
