Installing a new set of Delco 60G plugs this weekend before it gets too cold out.... pretty smokey right now

Guess we know why your starter sounded so weak when we met up that day. Heck of a lot of spin time when those glows were shot. The 28MT can't handle that kind of abuse. It's one reason i don't like them over the direct drive 27MT monster starters. They'll spin and spin until the batteries keel over, and not have anywhere near the damage the 28MT would have.

@iamdave0887 Yeah that starter had taken a LOT of abuse since I had it installed in 08..and it was a scrapyard pull then, so it's possible it was well abused already. I can't complain, it served me well, but I certainly did beat the piss out of it for a long time before replacing the GP's.

[iamdave0887]

@Oshawapilot have you since replaced it or it it still hanging onto life?

[Oshawapilot]

@iamdave0887 Replaced it last week. It hung on for a long while after our vacation but was getting slower and slower. Yeah, even slower than it was believe it or not. :) If it wasn't for my 8 new glowplugs it would have never started at the end.

@Oshawapilot engine probably wants to do a flip now i'll bet.

@Astonhooi Cool.

[possmguts]

Nice video bud. I was cringing after about 10 seconds of cranking though on the first part. :)

[Oshawapilot]

White smoke on a diesel is unburned fuel, yes. Black smoke is incomplete combustion..

[outdoorsman310]

@Oshawapilot isnt that the same thing?

[barthoedemaker]

@Oshawapilot Black smoke is burned fuel !

[Oshawapilot]

@barthoedemaker Black smoke is *partially* burned fuel, AKA, incomplete combustion. A diesel burning 100% of it's fuel makes no smoke at all.

[barthoedemaker]

@Oshawapilot That's true. I have a tuned turbo diesel engine in my van, puts out only black smoke on the first acceleration demand, after that it burns clean on acceleration to. I do see all the other american v8 truck diesel vids here on youtube having way to much black smoke, why are they running so rich injectors?

[Oshawapilot]

@barthoedemaker There is a certain segment of the North American population who seem to think that spewing copious amounts of black smoke everywhere is "Cool".

[barthoedemaker]

@Oshawapilot lol oke :-)

[barthoedemaker]

@Oshawapilot I'm from Europe so we don't have the V8 diesels much, I'm currently having a 2 ton Peugeot Boxer with 4 cylinder, 2.8 Liter HDI engine, putting out over 400 nm torque and 170 hp. It goes max 173 km/h on GPS. So not bad I think :-) It's limited with a 5 speed, the 3 liters version has a 6 speed gearbox, and I'm sure that's capable of 200 km/h.

[barthoedemaker]

@Oshawapilot Watch the tractorpulling vids, these diesel seem to run very rich for a reason I guess? Most turbo diesel stock from factory smoke black when you accelerate, mostly the VW's here in Europe, so I guess a little bit of extra fuel is good for the engine. A 100% combustion can never be reached?

[tarzwell50]

what is the white smoke ? unburnt fuel ?

[alexl333]

good video, i enjoyed it!!
