Snowy 2 Month Cold Start 6.9L Diesel Motorhome And Rollin Coal

[@jasoncarpp7742]

That's the cool thing about old-school diesel engines, assuming the battery is fully charged, it'll start right up.

[@jmurray01]

Nothing beats the sound of a Ford diesel firing up and reving! It doesn't make no difference if it is a 1980's Canadian Motorhome with a massive Diesel or a little British hatchback with a tiny Gasoline engine, one thing is the same - The Ford reliability. We've had our '97 Ford for 4 years almost, and it has NEVER failed to start. Not once in all that time. Damn good quality engines.

[@matts6887]

wow!; thats pretty good for sitting in the winter for 2 months not having been started; Gotta love those old diesels!!! :)

[@GMC6523]

thanks for reving the van for me injoy hearing the sound of the engine of the 6.9lt diesel.

[@IDIDieselJohn]

Oh don't worry, it had been running for 45min before I started doing the revving. Gauge still wasn't up, but it wasn't dead cold at least. I have to put some kind of load on the engine when I start it, to keep the cylinder bores from glazzing throughout winter.

thanks for reving the van for me injoy hearing the sound of the engine of the 6.9lt diesel I whish i had a van like that or a ford f-250 or f-350 or a International s1600 or s1700 series 4600, 4700. Or a School bus s1700 or 3700 because I love the sound of the engine that goes up to 3000 rpm Alison transmisson AT545 or a 4 speed manuel.

man that started nice!! 2 months sitting and not plugged in or anything!! I need to get my column fixed so i dont have to do that under the hood starting BS. Also need to get a new lens for the dash and i want to find one of those cup holder on the dog house things!!

[@SpiritsoftheWolf]

that's the ford!!! you can depend on the ford starting up without the engine block heater

[@IDIDieselJohn]

That gray carport, right beside the red barn.....the F250 is in there. Still looks the same as you last saw it. No shop to work on it in winter.

[@HarpreetSingh-di4hk]

How much miles per gallon it gives ?

[@IDIDieselJohn]

Had been running for around 45min before I started revving it. Wasn't fully warmed up, but wasn't cold anymore.

[@IDIDieselJohn]

Might very well be. I got it running right, but it needs half choke. I'm gonna tinker with it next season, take the carb off and give it a good cleaner also. That is the original generator in this camper, and the carb has never been serviced.

[@CorvusCasull]

Well put together video man! I'm always impressed with how easily that IDI motorhome starts, though you did make me cringe a bit with all the revving. I know you're careful with cold engines, but I'm always thinking of longevity I guess - I won't give anything the juice until it's been within operating temperature for at least five to ten minutes. (Especially diesel powered things)

[@IDIDieselJohn]

You need to get yours starting like this :D

[@IDIDieselJohn]

I have to give it half choke, for it to run right. Next season i'm gonna take the carb apart and clean/fix it. This is really starting to piss me off!

[@djverhulst]

is it wish to make a lot of rmp's when the engine isn't compleet warm up ?

[@SkankRemix3]

Deoes the Generator run on a separate tank of gas? Or propane? I figured it too would have been diesel.

[@IDIDieselJohn]

+8v-of-fury Theres a 38 gallon diesel tank for the engine, 25 gallon propane tank for the coach, and 16 gallon gas tank for the generator.

[@SkankRemix3]

ah i see, thank-you

[@kevintowler1229]

What year is the motorhome

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor7744]

[@mcneilja1]

[@CRXJDM88]

I did a cold start on one of tho last week a u haul 91 ha this thing was rusted out and sit ha and thee a store that has a 87 park for 13 year if u see it u be like wow it's in yellow

[@SpiritsoftheWolf]

and sounds like it running too lean, adjust the needle valve out by 1/8 to 1/4 turn and see what happens

[@corvette1568]

Now how mary hours or how long that. Rolin Coal can run before it runs out of gas?

[@bababooey7576]

+Steven Lebbing It can't run out of something it doesn't use.

[@mccrackenphillip]

Nice Diesel Sound But You Left The Geny Running So Its Hard To Hear It Run.

[@telavie1]

keep reving it up and blow it up.

[@SkankRemix3]

+Randy Sparks LOLWHUUT. Engines are meant to rev, duh.

[@wduane2807]

How are you coming along with your cab replacement on your F-250?

[@IDIDieselJohn]

It's sitting up on jack stands.

[@tpvalley]

[@lincolnmaniac]

[@IDIDieselJohn]

It can do 130km/h! Does take a while to get there though.

[@jaymunk262]

[@mmz77]

Can that camper do 120kmh?

[@rudybratr]

[@mccrackenphillip]
