Had to ether start mighty whitey to leave work last night..
stopped by O'Really? Auto Parts on the way home and got glow plugs and a relay..

it's been plugged in all night, BUT.. it's also 0* out..
think it will start so I can put it in the barn to work on it?

Plugged in all night? Then yes it'll start
Unless you have injector issues as well

I am betting she busts right off.

But at those temps, I would stay inside and drink coffee. Especially since you didn't put it in the barn last night.

here in the hills of ski-country, my 7.3 has never let me down no matter the temps... never plugged my truck in either.

Snapshot_20130202_zps0ee979e5.jpg


five hours in surgery..
two plugs stuck in the head on the right bank..

mass trickery with various tools and implements of destruction..
sat outside in 14* weather for four hours..

one GP cycle and she lit right off when I brought it back up by the house..

oddest stinkin thing.. all 8 ohmed out at less than 1 ohm..
I didn't try to dry fire them, but I might at some point..

I did put a new GPR on it as well, but I don't think that was the issue either, as last night I had the jumper pack on the glow plug side of the relay while I tried to start it.. and yes, I had the other lead grounded to the engine..

:fustrate:

We'll see what it does in the morning..

I hate being :eek:wned: by my own truck..

few more votes on the poll and I'll reveal the "sitting outside" answer..
