Snow and Cold start

[GrandAmGT1990]

gm is all ways better then ford

[73GMC1500]

After 1988 GM trucks went downhill. Ford had much better front suspension and their diesel engine was A LOT better than GM

I love the 73-87 chevies tho. 88-98s are ok, but I prefer a ford.

I would think that if the glow plugs were fresh, that first one would have fired up even with the snow cranking.

[73GMC1500]

The glow plugs and controller were replaced this spring. It needs the cranking speed, probly because the engine has 205K and has never been touched.

Yeah, I forgot about the compression factor

somtimes those fords dont like the cold. But a chevy will start up any day.

[73GMC1500]

It's not a ford or chevy issue. It's the condition of the batteries, glow plugs, and starter.

[MooseBaker]

Chevy's always start.

[91CTD]

Yep. :)

[GearHead1625]

get new batteries man would probably fire right up if you did

[73GMC1500]

I know, I need to order some. If I put it on the charger for a half hour it starts in about half a crank with one GP cycle.

[GearHead1625]
