Re: Diesel guys
I use AC60g glow plugs and a push button setup so I can extend the glow plug times when it is very cold. I've ran these glow plugs for about 45 seconds for starting when it's under 0 degrees.

The 1990's OEM GM Stanadyne intake mounted fuel filter was a nice addition to both of my older trucks. No more leaks and the intake valley is toasty in the winter.

Re: Diesel guys
Far as the block heater discussion,if you can make it easier on that poor cold engine by warming it up a bit to aid in startup,why not?? The instructors told us when I took my diesel mechanics training that the hardest thing on an engine was startup....

I know what pour weight,the 1st number,is. 15-40 is fine for the Mid-Atlantic region all year round. That's what we run here and diesels start just fine,as long as their glow plug system is up to snuff. My neighbor has a N/A 7.3 F350 that seems to have no glow working. He cranks and cranks and cranks (raw fuel into his crankcase ![]()
