Re: Whew!

I don't know why people think diesel is a hard engine to start in
wintertime. I never had a hard time starting in winter... I didn't even plug
in my engine block heater.

Re: Whew!


I have had big trouble in the past getting started when the temperaure is
below 20 F. Usually a weak battery. We don't have block heaters. We just pray
that all the glow plugs work.

Re: Whew!

That is easy to test if your gluw plugs are good... you got easy access to
all your plugs and measure the resistance..
