EXTREME COLD START LLY Duramax -30C

-30C or -22F extreme cold start on a 05 LLY Duramax. Not plugged in. Sat for 3 days

[@05redser]

And that's why you plug in the block heater... lmao

[@justinweicker4230]

The starter practically was the block heater😂

[@nicholaslask9897]

@@justinweicker4230your still getting piston wall wash in these conditions with no block heater. If you want to avoid blow by as much as possible never let your oil turn to jello in these temps

[@CT9905.]

Yes, some people never Learn!!!

[@Dead-Goldstar]

I can't imagine how hard that is not only on the starter and he engine trying to start in -30 degrees I would of plugged it in for at least 1/2 hour and try to warm it up. IT's brutal hearing it trying to fire bet-the oil is like molasses.

[@grantg98]

What if you don't have access to one? What do you do then?

[@Exhaustlover]

Love this coldstart 😎. Nice wiew 🚙💨😁

[@labellamaffia]

Great video! Would love to see more hard starts like this. Maybe a camera angle showing you inside the car too?

[@chrisgillam3096]

Install a new fuel pressure regulator. Helped with my cold starts.

That's a KOLD START 4u

[@NickZ-dn7cr]

Northern wisconsin here. My lb7 starts up in 3 cranks every single time. No plug in available anywhere near. We get much colder winters. You have problems

[@cats0182]

9+ minutes to get it started? Really? How long would it have taken if you HAD plugged it in while it sat for 3 days?

[@tracktorred7570]

I think I’d be replacing glow plugs

[@WymiataczPlays]

Hello there, could I use a your video for my extreme cold-starting compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thank you for answer in advance :) That was extremely reluctant, have you found out the issue yet? To me it sounds like bad quality, gelled up fuel.

[@dieselshenanigans2458]

I wanna know what battery’s you have! Mine would never be able to crank for that long

check your glow system/only 1 or 2 glow plugs working. my 2004 has rail contact they corrode off.

[@Canofwhoopass1000]

what brand of batteries does this man have that was extremely impressive

[@Kaydenpower]

Is this normal and healthy for the engine to crank over that much when it's that cold?

[@zachreece8410]

Absolutely not. It’s cool to watch but horrible on a lot of components. Mainly the starter. But it’ll wear a lot of things out.

[@nicholaslask9897]

@@zachreece8410the piston walls are getting it the worst in these conditions lol

[@russphillips3732]

Lots of stuff at -30 wont start at all. Even gas cars

[@robinprice4877]

How long does it usually take to start on freezing cold mornings? Does it take longer when it hasn't been used for several days?

[@zachreece8410]

Significantly. Also, if you don’t have insulation around your batteries have a charger ready. Ask me how I figured that out lmao

[@danieltrip]

Amazing cold start! Is it okay with you if I use this vid in a compilation? I'll credit & link back to this vid 🙂

[@sglc7100]

Sure not a problem. Credit and link would be appreciated

You have to show us those batteries man man

How many miles does thst removes ftom block and pistons

[@johndaniels1356]

Ya ok

[@Kenword69420]

Any tips to help or start easier?

[@zachreece8410]

Plug your truck in overnight, and make sure your glow plugs are good lol. Also can crank it over a couple times, let it sit and the heat sink in, then start. Or the forbidden starter fluid that’ll dry out your injectors pretty quick

[@johndaniels1356]

Starting fluid doesn't dry out your injectors. It has no way to make it into your injectors. It may dry out your cylinders a bit if you use it in excess but that's it. Really doesn't hurt anything if you use it in small amounts

[@tracywagers1399]

It’s cursed and jinxed to not want to start at all

[@sglc7100]

SKIP TO 8:50 for startup

[@CT9905.]

A block heater is highly required!!!

[@rrrambunctious4070]

I can smell this video

[@luich1288]

Mmm maybe It is time to check the glow plugs

[@tompiper3]

It wouldn't have even tried to start if his glow plugs were bad. Would have just turned over and over and over with no signs of life

[@rafael.azevedo.feet1]

Amazing! Show us your pedal and boots

This is why I'd NEVER get a diesel. When it gets that cold it would be a crapshoot if you'd get your vehicle started before the batteries quit and then get stranded.

[@anotherpewtertahoe]

This just isn't true. This dude clearly has issues with his grid heater, plugs, or both. I frequently start by LBZ in -30f or more, something is wrong here.

[@StarHunter28]

started the lbz in 3 degree F today, three pissed off cranks and she was running. something is wrong with this lly.

[@Canofwhoopass1000]

why not have more than one vehicle they all have their time and place for where they are good.

[@Luke-kn9pi]

​@StarHunter28 you're right, I have an lly, and I can easily start it in a few seconds in -5 F without plugging it in, although I really try to avoid that situation

[@adamcummins3367]

Yeah that sounds about right for a POS diesel in the winter taking 8 minutes to finally start getcha a gas and it will fire right up every time plus here’s a bonus you don’t have to wait . I’ll only buy a vehicle that I can jump right in and fire up immediately. Plus not to mention the cost of diesel right now 5.47 a gallon down here lolol sucks to be a diesel owner. I’d love for someone who owns a diesel truck or car to name one good thing about owning a diesel and don’t say fuel mileage lmao I’ll just stick with my Nissan Maxima 2012 fires up every time

[@darrellfairrow5099]
