[AdaskoN95]

"No more dude" - I'll say "No shit dude"

[MrExtremepaintballr]

[Spasspilot91]

american quality.

[NJFordPops08005]

still love this!!

[1tirefryer]

sounds like she's got a misfire 

[SuperDutyCummins]

only 30 degreesF? are you kidding, thats not even cold!! my 12 valve starts in -25 no problem w/ being plugged in

[fishaholic2012]

its a snorting dolphin

[Ether506]

lol yer gonna flood her mine takes only a few sec to start up in like 10 or lower degrees

[1tirefryer]

@Ether506 You can't flood a vehicle without a carb....

[vegoildieselguy]

sounds like my truck...:)

[auaiao9]

@vegoildieselguy lucky man.  :)

[snoop6604]

it has been between -30 and -40 and our 24 valve 2000 dodge 2500 cummins has a hard time.. but fires up after about 10 minutes lol!

[kaptaincrnch]

"No more dude"

[raykeens]

whoops now the battery's dead lmfao

[JoeC7711]

wooow, im bored yea me too, lets go video tape me wreking my truck, ok!!

[EasternAggie]

what was timing set at?

[TheAUDIAlpine]

what do you expect its a dodge

[01blacksleeper]

if your running so much fuel why would you even try to start it with out having it pluged in.

[xxbal1inxx]

thing sounds like an old 7.3 idi turning over

[ippielb]

Hate to see them try and start that in Canada, if 30 is cold, try -30 Celsius haha

[powerstrokn89]

@ippielb not to bad its only -22 try -75 and haven to work outside cus the stupid military said so...stupid

[jt4265]

it hurts me to watch this video.

[huskyhunk31]

Damn, that was a good attempt, it was REALLY close to firing up :-)...

[drdave1233210]

buy a Ford

[scorpionsavage]

thats a pos dodge for ya

[ntxic8td]

You said like 30* F ?? Sounds timing has slipped possibly. Should start no prob at 30* un-plugged with no grid heaters even

[2URBO2]

You almost had it...

[hooksmason]

it would have started with some good batteries

[dodgekindaguy]

I'm more then positive he took the grid heater off. I did

[chickomenon]

you just need timing, and adjust your idle.. you will be able to hit the key at any temperature with no worries...

[joshuwa88]

Plug it in you idiot!

[my92d350]

dont ever crank on the starter that long. it will burn it up.

[lilmustangman2002]

There goes that starter

[bighunterman77]

nah, there goes the battery...haha

[iminsane84]

the diesel might have gelled up

[briggy027]

ooo nearly

[bigtrucks44]

she's puffing out smoke rings

[michaelovitch]

Marlboro truck...

[CumminsTwinTurbo]

I've never seen a 12 valve start that bad lol. Or not start at all for that matter, mines just a couple cranks and it goes, not even plugged in

[jameson1333]

Mine never doesn't start either? maybe he has super high timing or something

[Inline6boost]

@jameson1333

Diesels don't have timing

[jameson1333]

@Inline6boost .....are you an idiot yes they do. that what the CHIPS do..they increase fuel and timing

[Inline6boost]

@jameson1333.... fuel timing yes but not spark ignition since they are compression combustion.

[jameson1333]

@Inline6boost ....why would I be referring to spark plug ignition on a video of a diesel. I drive a diesel, I know they don't have spark plugs lol. its a 12 valve too for the record..increased timing makes for a hard start in the winter

[Inline6boost]

@jameson1333 ..... Yeah I forgot about the fuel timing. I just assumed you were talking about spark timing since when most people refer to engine timing as spark timing. Haha

[caniwitech]

@Inline6boost The fuel is timed, and the cam is 'timed' to the crank.

[dandenong999]

i'd love to breathe that smoke in

[elsignur]

funziona a carbone sto cesso ?

[highdeserthater]

did you have a block warmer?

[bignick01dakota]

advanced timing is a bitch in the winter on the old 97

[FordsSuck95]

How cold?

[Explorerman88]

Like 30 lol

[FordsSuck95]

Jesus, my uncles fires right up at -10, it is a 92 12 valve

[edudyeh]

@FordsSuck95 Yeah the First Gens. fire right up when you just tap the key.

[Herps85]

@Explorerman88 30 should start no problem without being plugged in. Let the grid heaters cycle a few times.

[McJiggler]

@Explorerman88 not too cold

[HURSTSSAMX]

next time your in town buy a starter and some batteries

[kydiesel44]

Wow. This is exactly what my truck used to do. Turns out I had a tiny hole in the supply line that was letting air into the lines. Is the truck still having problems? What is the timing set at and is he still running a grid heater?

[Explorerman88]

We had the grid heater off for our custom intake and twins and freakin high timing with a crapload of fuel and that is why it wouldnt start.

[NJFordPops08005]

still gets me goin, man LOL

[f22fighter12]

did you give it gas?

[UCONN429]

thst is really fucking bad for the whole truck not just the starter.

[DionysiosA76]

Cool cranking sound

[sfzdrums]

Wow... this is a first. A Cummins that won't start in the cold. Better get that looked at!!

[iCummins03]

@sfzdrums yeah seriously somethings wrong 

[fontheking5]

Try charger the battery , diesel engines needs really strong batteries to start in the cold

[fontheking5]

First Cummins i have found that won`t start

[AbusiveAdminPaul]

Yeah, mine isn't starting either. I feel your pain.

[Explorerman88]

GLOW PLUGS??? R u serious?!?! Dude cummins dont have glow plugs, they have a heater grid in the intak which has been removed on this truck for a custon aluminum one.

[lovemyrv]

still it's used for the same perpos, why would you remove something that helps the truck start up by something that makes it harder to start? Still nice truck though

[Explorerman88]

Well the stock intake flows like crap. We custom made one that flows like 3-400% more air. Cooled off the motor like 400 degrees. Just starts rough.

[PowerStrokeDieselz]

What year is his truck?

[Explorerman88]

It is a 1997.

[Drew99GT]

If it has no heater grid, are you surprised it won't start? Does it have a block heater?

[Explorerman88]

Nope not suprized at all. But who gives a crap when ya got that much horses, just give er some juice.

[lovemyrv]

White smoke!! you got some glow plug problems, it's a Cummins should start right up (if well maintaned)

[BTTWPullingTeam]

yea but u dont no whats done to this truck... Its no stocker...

[lovemyrv]

What has been done to it, that shouldn't be a reason for bad starting like that

[BTTWPullingTeam]

Tons of stuff!!!! Its top secret tho.......

[TrueRedNecks]

yea no shit! this ones got tons of goodies on it!...

[Explorerman88]

HAHA your truck is probably stock, unlike this one.

[FordsSuck95]

Dude, he has a problem, it should have started right up, it gets down to -10 here and our one 1994 dodge is a 12 valve and it starts up fine
