Cold starting the 7.3 diesel without preheating @ 20F

[fordsmopars4lif3]

why did it move forward when it started?

lots of torque?

[scrmn68]

A normal oil change is a little under 15 qts with a new filter on a DI motor. Hence the reason ford sells the diesel in 5 qt jugs.....

[scrmn68]

@scrmn68 Oil.....diesel Oil in 5 qt jugs

[olegcis27]

+20F is a warm start. -50 is a cold start

[speedyelcomino2008]

mmmm thats not a cold start a 20F

[BraydenXBox360]

WOW NICE LOL

[MARINESARETHESHIT]

joebeckham. im not a moron. i know how diesles work and its insulting to have to have someone like u try to teach me how diesels work

[joebeckham]

I love how you stood right in front of the exhaust for a second... Did anyone in church comment on why you smelled like unburned diesel fuel? xD

[strumem90]

God i love these trucks! I just got a 2002 Limited 2WD 7.3L (that might be fun come winter). Any noticeable or common problem I should know about? It has new 8 new injectors on it already and brand new waterpump. Thanks and nice rig!

[braggy97]

that is not a cold start you should see the generator at work v16

[TheDavidpayne]

yep dats one way of fucking up you truck

[ps3dethman1]

@TheDavidpayne r u high?

[joshg678]

you starting it using either? If so don't do that a lot, its not good on it. Again, check your glow plugs, they might need to be replaced.

[stress326]

ahhhh the soothing sound of diesel.

[MrDiesel1996]

preheat? its a 7.3 not an oven!

[ChadBurr76]

@MrDiesel1996 yes! Preheat. Usually on a cold day you would need to have the block heater plugged in to get the Diesel engine good to go. It's rough on these engines to start cold like this.

[MARINESARETHESHIT]

@MrDiesel1996 do u know how diesel works? if so its better to get them warm before you drive them

[joebeckham]

@MARINESARETHESHIT I hope you actually know what you're talking about.. The reason they are so hard to start in cold weather is because they rely completely on compression to make the power stroke. (Yes, one of the four strokes to an engine.) Diesels do not have sparg plugs, and because the fuel does not burn as good when it is also cold itself.

[Powerstrokesrule01]

@MrDiesel1996 its called a block heater to preheat the block so it starts easier

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

POS pickup truck Who gives a fuck.

[ps3dethman1]

@stevesprinceofsteaks lol thats not a pickup u dummy its a suv learn ur stuff u dummy suv dont have beds in the back derrrrr

[Dieselpower2000]

Very sexy truck! I'd like to put that exhaust pipe in my mouth and try to hold the exhaust back when you rev!;)

[sstroh08]

and id like to see that lol

[Dieselpower2000]

just take place on the driver's seat and push the gas!

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

wtf

[DS650POWER]

i'd hate to see this thing start at -35 not plugged in...

[torque395]

That sure started quick for 20 degrees and no glowplugs. My 6.5 wont do it that fast, but then again it has old worn out injectors and its indirect injected. Its by no means hard to start tho even in the cold.

[JollyR328]

your a fag

[EliceRosemeJemisle]

wow good way to screw up ur motor and nice tie lol

[exmarkmetroguy]

dude daniel is my man he would wup yo ass at fixing things he could like do anything no prob

[germanbamf]

shocked it started ....ford ha

[roperboy1]

thats so bad just starting it up like that you need to wait for the light to go off then start it

[savage7mmmag]

I think I speak for everyone when I say there goes a good ford to waste!...OMG :46 "thats a cold start"???..correction thats a DUMBASS

[JRFFRB]

do you wait for the "wait to start" light to go off before cranking on the damn powerstroke?

[dallin73]

wat u talkin about is this a gm 5.7 litre diesel those would never start without glow plugs I know because I have 2 of them

[yamahonkawazuki]

In a ford?

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

NO its not!

[GearHead1625]

excuse me how is that not a ford?

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

I was speaking to "dallin73" who thought this Excursion had a GM 5.7L pile in it. No shit its a Ford!

[GearHead1625]

ok i was going to say you have to be extremely stupid tho think that is a gmc my bad

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

its cool

[tommysbrowncaddy]

Is this a GM 5.7 liter diesel??

[Nickgarage]

This is a ford not a Chevy. Ford has 7.3 6.0 and 6.4. Chevy uses duramax

[kellyman90]

ford also had a 6.9 before the 7.3

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

no....not at all.

[FordGuy100]

GM did to make a 5.7 liter diesel. They took a regular old, I think Olds, small block chevy block, upped the compression, threw on some different heads, and made a diesel. It was a failure, they broke down a ton and had hardly any power.

[SuPeRgOoN69]

oh. that mustve been back when they first started experimenting with diesels. ive never heard of that. i gues its just because it was never popular. but thanks for the info.

[CSXtrackworker]

Yes, I remember them trying that.. Utter failure and a waste of money... I never like the 6.2ltre diesel they made, if I have the motor size right..I've always owned silverado's, and thought aboutgetting a duramax, but I just don't haul enugh weight to warrant getting one..

[6030diesel]

it was based on their 5.7L gas engines. it was beefed up everywhere except where it counted. the V6 olds diesels were based on gas engines too but they got a extra head bolt for each cylinder they were ok engines. the 5.7 didnt get any extra bolts so the heads didnt quite have enough clamping area. too bad.

[bigchevy80]

Neither the 5.7L or the 4.3L were based on gas engines. Anyone who makes this statement knows nothing about the old 350 diesels. They shared the same general dimensions of a 350 Rocket, but were totally different inside.  I've rebuilt 3 of them and they are decent engines for a passenger car or light truck. Nowhere near as powerful as modern engines, but not the trash that people think they are.

[THEFERMANATOR]

Not completely true. GM did take the old tried and true 350 CHEVY and convert it to diesel for a year or two before they came out with the beefed engines designed to be diesels. I haven't seen any in years, but racers used to get the 350 diesels and build up super high compression gas engines.

[jonesd5o]

it was a 350 oldsmobile block gm hadnt went corparate yet the differant branches still got to make their own engines

[alfonsgar]

I beg to differ. I owned a 83 Oldsmobile Delta 88 (GM Product) with a 5.7 diesel V8.

[SuPeRgOoN69]

yeah i know they had one now. someone explained it too me. i had just never heard of it before. my bad for the mistake.

[ncfirefighter6]

The 7.3 powerstroke turbodiesel holds a total of 18 quarts of oil, 15 in the engine and three in the high pressure system which actuates the fuel injectors. Most people think it only holds 15 because thats all it takes to fill it back up since the other oil doesnt drain out, you have to do it manually.

[bassboy923]

o, ok

[bassboy923]

whats with the dress shirt?????

[DanielJaegerFilms]

We were on our way to church.

[Dunoj]

That's what I was thinking since this was on a Sunday.

[joebeckham]

@DanielJaegerFilms LOLLL... "On our way to church.." Great time to make a video! :D

[eeevvviiil]

how many quarts of oil does it take to do an oil change on this truck? do you have to add any between oil changes?

[s172mch]

they take a good bit

6-10 maybe?

normally u dont have to add any if ya do uve got some loose rings

[DanielJaegerFilms]

about 16 quarts.

[Powerstrokesrule01]

@DanielJaegerFilms mine takes about 12 quarts

[DanielJaegerFilms]

It holds about 16 quarts. Yeah, it's pretty big, but the engine holds it's heat for a long time in the winter. No, we don't add any between oil changes, it doesn't seem to consume any oil.

[hitdapipe]

@DanielJaegerFilms my 6.0 is 15 quarts are you sure it is 16? mabe for the 7.3 it may be?

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

You should fab up a single 5" exhaust stack that come up from the right side of the vehicle just in front of the side mirror and goes about a foot above the roof. Id be the first Excursion with stacks!

[DanielJaegerFilms]

I've thought about doing that, but again, it's my dad's vehicle, and he'd rather have it coming out the back. Bummer.

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Ya bummer. Ive never seen an Excursion with a stack(s). Have you(Just wondering)?

[DanielJaegerFilms]

No, I have never seen one before. It would be a sight to behold, though.

[lovemyrv]

nice that thing smokes as much as our 1990 7.3 that i just uploaded
