    Gotta Love Cast Iron!!

    I was thinking it was dry air that felt cold, seem like the salt water would suck moisture from the air through osmosis. Since Im on Lake MI we have extremely humid summer and normally have very damp air. Im always outside, Ill be ice fishing below zero with 20mph wind, that's just normal. Our...

    Really really hard start

    I turned the key and checked for power, I had it at the one glow plug so I figured they all did. When I checked for ohms all the plugs on the driver side were wide open.

    Gotta Love Cast Iron!!

    When I was in virginia it felt really cold even though the temperature was a lot higher then what i was used to here in michigan. I don't know if it was because the air was dryer. I was used to sub zero here in MI and there when it got down around freezing I was froze stiff. Must have something...

    What glow plugs should I buy?

    I checked out my glow plugs tonight and it looks like at least half of them are junk. Ive never put glow plugs in so I guess its time. I fired up the autozone website to see what they have and they have 4 different ones. I don't drive the truck in the winter so I don't need anything for really...

    Really really hard start

    Im getting power to the glow plugs but all the glowplugs on the driver side seem to be open, no resistance on any of them. I didn't check the passenger side. The headlights don't really dim when I tun the key.

    Gotta Love Cast Iron!!

    The coldest start for me is when it got down to about -20 at night, it was in the morning so it was a little warmer but the block was probably still that cold. I just cycled the plugs once and it fired up like it always did. Made a little chug sound twice but it was hardly noticeable.

    Gotta Love Cast Iron!!

    Ive started my truck in the negative double digits before and it started like it would if it was 70 outside. Im having cold start problems now. Ive never put glowplugs in it so that's where Ill start.

    Really really hard start

    I went to fire up the 6.5 2days ago and it didn't want to start, it was puffing smoke so I'm sure it was getting fuel. Ive been having cold start problems for a while but not this bad. I put 2 new batteries in and was putting them to use. The temp was 40ish, so it wasn't super cold. When I...

    The tater digger is a john deere, I have 2 old IH ground driven diggers but the JD is a pto driven. I just unloaded a hay wagon off the trailer I bought yesterday, should have taken a pic. I noticed it has a hoist under it, I didn't notice that when I bought it.

    no fuel to injectors on bosch p7100

    Im looking at a truck for sale with a p7100 injection pump, there is no fuel going to the injectors. I would assume the injection pump is bad but what else would cause this? There is fuel to the injection pump but nothing at the injectors.
