This is how to smoke your camera! It turned out really good. The engine had absolutely no time to preheat, hence all the smoke. Notice how vehicle rocks back and forth when the engine is first fired up. Also, this vehicle has no muffler or cat. converter, but still has the standard 3.5" exhaust.

  • whats with the dress shirt?????

  • We were on our way to church.

  • 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?

  • they take a good bit

    6-10 maybe?

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

  • about 16 quarts.

  • 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.

  • why did it move forward when it started?

    lots of torque?

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

  • 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.....

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

  • mmmm thats not a cold start a 20F
