Hello all,

What are the effects of starting an engine prior to the grid heater lamp shutting off?

I have started my started my truck a few times forgetting about above...

Regards,

Dylan

 

Im not aware of any issues, but I jumped in my truck today (70 degrees out) and fired it up without waiting to see ifg there was a start light or not. It had a little hiccup and dipped down to about 400 rpm then ran fine. Got me????

 

I took my grid heater out , replaced it with a grid heater spacer from WINdiesel (CA)... started it this morning at 23degrees, no problem....... soooo, you shouldn't have any prob's at all.

 

I get a little smoke at startup when it's less than 50 deg. plus a little stumbling. I'm conditioned to wait now which looks really phunney when I'm in my car

 

It will BLOW your Engine up!!













Naw, just messin' with ya. I done it a few times and sometimes it smokes a little & runs a little rough, but quickly returns to normal!!

 

Thx Gents!
