Just what the title says. Truck had 1 bad glow plug. This should show you what a difference just 1 bad GP makes when cold starting. 29F*F or -2*C Truck sat for 3 days.

1989 F-250 4x4 ZF5 speed

  • Do you have an high idle switch?

  • @metallica2014 didnt on that truck, but it was automatic... think it might of been unplugged when i took the vid tho lol

  • lol how many trucks u got bro

  • @JDMD7109 I've had 13 or 14 now I think lol, most at once was just 3 tho

  • Hi, if you have oil in the antifreeze, it could be a cylinder head gasket. There is an oil passage from the block to the cylinder heads to lubricate the rocker arms and part of this oil pressure could be going to the antifreeze. Remember th oil has more pressure than the cooling system. The oil cooler is just to cool down the engine oil, it has passages of coolant and oil. These ends should be inspected in order to find any cracks or any other damage.

  • @64jorthom I don't know about any oil passage through the head gasket, but when I pull the motor apart I'll look for head gasket problems. When we took the oil cooler apart, all passages seemed fine, no visible cracks. IDK if you know, but the truck in the vid didn't have the problem... and I no longer have the truck that did.

see all

  • What the hell was that noise at 0:44?!?!?! That sounded like something from an alien movie. Hahaha

  • YAY FOR DEISEL COLD STARTS!! My 88 Chevy (not deisel-sorry) kinda starts the same way as this thing in the cold. Haven't had to plug it in since I've had it, and it's kinda funny watching neighbours try to start their new cars with them being plugged in.
