This poor starter...ouch!! Why is it smoking white is it an injector thats causing this?

Looks to me like a loose nut behind the steering wheel is the problem.

Five bucks says he's got 15w40 in that thing. Being a HEUI setup, if the oil is thick and the truck is having a hard time making oil pressure off the get-go, its not gonna fire for a while. It doesn't help that he has a custom tune pouring fuel to it. That thing smokes worse than an houred out D10 on startup!

That would be a pretty good guess... !!!..

THe guy is an idiot... why would you rev your engine like that right after a cold start..

Oh well, its just another 6.0L...
Funny thing is, in the back ground, you see a Dodge backing out of the driveway... didnt have a problem starting that one!!!

My guess is low voltage in the FICM, glow plugs are shot or low on oil. Keith

Some people shouldn't own diesels. The guy probably killed it in that video.

Bad glow plugs and possible low ficm voltage but I lean more to faulty glow plugs. He probably melted the tips off of them with the sct extreme race tune.

He said it was a cold start at 22 degrees. Thats not cold. I can start my truck in that temp without cycling the grid heater.

ktpauley

22 degrees he should be using 5-40 synthetic oil.

Who in the right state of mind would post that...

Hvytrkmech

15/40 year round on an HEUI system, although 5/40 is good you don't need it. The glow plugs come on at 80* if the engine has not been started. They literally need that extra heat to fire off. At 22* he is lucky it started at all.

Did you see how green the grass is, and the trees in the background? How about the truck? No frozen dew/frost on it- I know that nobody lies on the internet, but...

Hodge,

I noticed the same thing...to me cold is when there is snow on the ground and the windows frosted over...lol That poor starter took a beating as well.

GIT-R-DONE

As his neighbor pulls out in his Dodge truck , probably thinking to himself..."Theres that Ford owner trying to start his truck again" !

Spooler

Typical Ford Doedoe Bird owner.... The Dodge that cranked and left appeared to be a 1500 gasser.
