Message: [QUOTE="Crbav8r, post: 241479, member: 4654"] OK, Have been chasing a cold start problem for a few months. I have gone through the glow plug system, and feel that my issue is in the injectors. I read some about stiction, but it sounds like that is an issue with the 6.0. Does the 7.3 have the same issues? What is the best way to clean the injectors? New glow plugs new batteries new starter new GPR 248,000 miles on truck truck will not start without numerous cycles of the glowplugs below 50deg. when it does, it lopes on 5-6 cylindars until it warms up. will start on one cycle above 50deg, but acts the same compression is good buzz test is good, but it was done warmed up(mechanic said needed) truck runs beautiful for everything else. pulls hard and never misses. have Hot Shot in the crankcase now with 1500 miles on it. thoughts????
