Too Cold To Start - Stuck in my Old Ford Diesel Truck on my 2,000 mile Frozen Alaska Highway Drive

[@davecisneros5285]

I don't know why but there is nothing cozier than watching winter mayhem from the comforts of home. Merry Christmas Timmy, truck and all!

[@Mark-gg6iy]

Agreed. One of the most memorable experiences I had was working aboard a ship 12 hr's NW Norway coast in a blizzard with the ship rocking quite a bit despite the dynamic positioning as I directed two ROV's (Remotely Operated Vehicles) and a crane from the ship deploying assets to the seabed. I had a porthole in my litter office and it was great. My chair moving around, the monitors showing what was going on underwater oblivious to the topside weather conditions.

Having lived in northern Canada all my life my suggestion for traveling in Canada in the cold at night in the boonies with a diesel is Kleen-Flo Diesel Fuel Conditioner . It works . If Tim's truck was mine I'd put half a one liter container in each tank every second or third fill up .

About one ounce per gallon is recommended. A liter is good for 16 gallons of diesel.

Tim, an old military trick to start cold engines is to hook up hose from a running engine exhaust to the one you are trying to start. The exhaust from a generator might work. The hot air will warm up the block, fuel pump etc. Merry Christmas

[@russellharris6994]

It’s so cold in Churchill Manitoba we use P50. Every fall you have to put conditioner in your fuel tanks to combat condensation that you accumulate during the spring and summer months.

[@user-nd4tv4jz8j]

I was wondering that! I live in ireland and my diesel engine died exactly like this guys ford at the start did but it was "only" -7C but in one of his previous videos he was saying the diesel he was using had some crazy gelling point of like -50. I never thought about different grades and additives to/for the diesel.... Now i know!

In 1986 when I moved to Alaska, I and my family got stuck at Pink Mountain at that gas station for two days because of a late spring blizzard. Good memories.. =)

[@Rayden440]

Timmy, diesel can hit its cloud point (when wax start to separate out of the fuel giving it a cloudy appearance) at temperature as high as 20F depending on blend. It does not need to "gel" to plug up your fuel filter and restrict flow to the point of engine stalling. Especially at the start of the winter season, it's a good idea to put your own additives in diesel anytime you experience temperature lower than 30F. As some fuel station may have less traffic and their summer blend may be sitting in the tank for longer than it should.

[@robertrosicki9290]

!00% agree .

[@brentwaldrop5610]

It sure why you still aren’t running an antigel additive!!

Amazing how bad diesel can really screw you no matter what vehicle you’re driving. Hard to do sometimes, but filling your diesel at commercial truck stops that go through lots of diesel fuel is one of the few ways to help with that. Stay on all fours and Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year. By the way, since you have no EGR, catalytic converters or a DEF system, you can run your 7.3 PS at a normal idle with no detriment to your engine or battery. Old technology for the win…

Tim! I always run hot shot secret EDT with every tank, and Extreme treat in the winter every other tank! It’s worth the investment, especially in winter. The smallest amount of moisture in diesel can cause it to start to gel at low temps. I also avoid any low traffic fuel stations due to the diesel sitting longer and drawing more moisture.

I drove a 26 foot moving truck with an auto trailer from Minneapolis, MN, to Portland, OR, in 2003 during the winter. I had the radiator freeze up on me in Bismarck, ND, the first night. Towed to a shop to have it fixed. Needless to say, I wised up and kept the truck running at night with diesel fuel additive parked outside the motels I stayed at the remainder of the journey. Quite the experience. Thanks for all the great videos! 🤙

[@iwastoldtherewouldbenomath6869]

So, two things: First, the vehicle doesn't 'feel' windchill so the air temp is what it is. I suspect the fuel you have had excessive water in it. Second, to save yourself time and assist in diagnosing you can easily do a google search for the CPS sensor test. I did a 10 second search and the resistant across the leds is 800-1000 ohms. I do this all the time diagnosing mechanized equipment in my little world. It's saved me $$$$ in not buying useless parts. Good vid again, as always!

[@gregz7159]

Agreed re the truck not feeling wind chill. The temp is what it is. The "wind" increases the rate of heat loss. If the ambient air temp is 0 degrees F, an object will lose heat down to 0 degrees faster in the wind vs no wind.

Timmy : why don’t you travel with an OBD scanner with all your check engine lights you encounter? A BlueDriver scanner from Amazon would be ideal for your glovebox.

[@ensom]

i think his truck is a 1996, GASOLINE vehicles 96 and newer had OBD. diesels weren't required to have OBD until 1997. so it's possible Tim's truck doesn't have an OBD port. i have blue driver and a obdlink scanners, the obdlink is faster but doesn't do advanced vehicle specific diagnostics, while my blue driver can read ABS, transmission, airbag system codes. 1996 is the earliest year for OBD II so it might not give that much diagnostic data. being a 1996 diesel, Tim's ford may not have an OBD port, or a standard compliant OBD system. If it were an option, I would imagine Timmy would have no problem using a scanner to help diagnose issues, he doesn't seem shy when it comes to using tech, drones, starlink, etc..
