This is the same guy from the 3rd vid down on new guys post of the Dodge cold start. Check out this 6.0 Powerstroke! and then go back and watch the Dodge. You can see this ford in the background!

Why is that all these trucks are near a garage, which I assume has power run in it, but these people would rather video their trucks to see if they start when its ass cold out then just plug them in for an hour :dizzy:?

I can say that I love my Dodge, starts all the time and doesnt complain. That video of the 6.0 was just how they start, it wasnt cold out :D , POS

i could have used one of those this morning, started our F800 in the 15 degree morning, didn't give it enough time to warm up before i pulled it up to the fuel pumps, ran it out of fuel because it was all gelled up...2 fuel filters and a fuel/water separator later that i replaced...and a lot of priming she finally started. Took 45 minutes and i don't think my hands have been that cold in a long time

I agree, the 6.0 powerstroke is helpless in the cold. I used to work part-time for a wrecker company and we had five 6 liters and they all needed at least 15 minutes to warm up before they would even move, they were pretty sad.

I hav, however had any trouble cold-starting any of my 7.3 powerstrokes, had to fire up my SD this morning when it was -5 and she purred like a kitty :D

I'm not sure how cold it was or why it started like that! My 06 6.0psd has had no problem starting in the cold. They way that truck sounded, it sounds like an old 7.3 non turbo.

Stroker79, it looks to me like you have at least a few GPs out on your 7.3. It really shouldn't smoke white for that long, it shows that one or more cylinders is not up to temp like they should be. Also, instead of cycling the plugs three times, just leave the key on and wait about 30 seconds after the "wait to start" light goes out and then crank it. The glow plugs will stay on for up to two minutes after that light goes out. All you're doing by turning the key on and off like that is wearing out the relay that energizes the plugs.

Not being critical, just some helpful hints from a fellow powerstroker.
