Cold morning start

[headviking]

It's -10*C outside (14*F). This is a short video of my truck strating in the morning. I would like to compare my morning start with the start of others.
Not sure of video attachment, but here it is.

How do I insert this short video into my message without it routing to photo bucket?

Wow that was a quick cold start.. With my remote start it doesn't start on the first crank.. I can't figure out how to extend to max setting on my viper 5901

[peterf.]

Me too.

Anyone else have cold start videos that they would like to show us? I am sure if you do have issues we can help if not we can compare with our own cold starts.

I've always heard replace them in pairs. Either way batteries are cheap compared to the headache of burning up a FICM.


Here is mine...

You need to change the delay on your remote start!! The glow plugs had not even finished their cycle yet. Anyway, here is my video with a bad FICM last year.
