I was wondering, It has started to get cold here in Ut. and my truck has started to miss and studers when it cold out side, it seems the not fire on one cylinder, Do you guys have any suggestions, > ???

 

Suggestions: Move to Texas, next door to Hoss.
Do you wait for the heater to shut off before you start it? Does the heater light cycle?
BTW, when did the 30' trucks become available ??? : ;D

 

What is a 30' engine?

 

Sorry I ment to Type 03' ;D I at least got every one attention though,
Yes The heater grid cylces, it takes approx 15 or so seconds, I let her idle for about 2 mins, Then I put it in Netural and cost down hill for about 500 yards, put it in gear and go it only missess for the first 1 mile or 2

 

Is this a problem only when you start it up or the whole time it's running?

Only till it warms up for the first 5-10 minutes, could it be the fuel filter

 

A 30' FOOT LONG ENGINE??????
2289 HP
AND
4163 FT LBS OF TORQUE...

DONT COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If it's just until it warms up then I'd say it's probably normal. In fact, I thought I read/heard somewhere that these engines are designed to shut off some of the cylinders until the engine warms up.....but I may be thinking of something else because that doesn't make much sense. :

 

Hoss i think what ur thinking of is the cold start feature which alows the engine to idle on 3 cylinders until it warms up or u hit the gas, brake, clutch or other..which should start all the cylinders firing....how cold it it there?

 

Even though I dread taking my truck to the dealer I would not hesitate to take it in if it was missing. It is under warranty. Let the dealer fix it and forget trying to diagnose it on the net.

I took my truck to the dealer, they told me that the truck in cold conditions runs on alternating cylnders, they said that is normal, also I have verfied this with Cummins intermountian.

 

;D

I just can't resist --

I sure wish MY '03 had a 30' engine....

I'd have the biggest one around....


;D

I thought it had to be really COLD for the cold idle to kick in.
It hasn't been that cold in Utah yet.

Routerguy, you should know that the "gentlemen" on this forum never forgive the smallest error. So suggest you modify your 30 foot engine to an '03. That is, unless you enjoy the ragging. ;D

 

HEY!! Who you callin' a gentleman??!! >
