He didn't let the GP's run long enough ,maybe a lighter oil ,,,& definately a new friggen starter...

 

HA HA for sure! this was me the other day when I was having that issue

That guy should try pluggin in LOL

 

its a 6blow what can you expect!! Any moron who doesn't use the block heater at -20 deserves to walk to work!! BTW I have tried to start many Cummins and they don't start any better! Not sure what he is talking about.

 

oil sounds too thick, for all that cranking it should have been blowing white smoke, not black. his motor has an issue, either too thick an oil or scoured injectors

 

i have listened to the video many times now at the begining. that is the key to 6.0's, the first 5 seconds after key-on. the updated programming from the 05E15 recall gives the injector solonoids a longer cycle time to aid in cold starts. you dont even hear his cycle when the key goes on (headlights) his engine is also cranking way too slow which at the image of his headlights says replace batteries

 

Yeah it cranked fast the first time but the second time I was surprised it lit up LOL

 

I didn't see it cranking fast at all,, given the fact that it was the same each time ,I wouldn't blame the batteries....

 

Who knows how cold it was there if it was -30c or colder and not plugged in that first crank was fast I think and who knows what grade oil He's running if mine were to sit like that in that temp not plugged in with 15/40 in it that would be a fast crank I have newer batteries lots of compression there now with 0/40 in it it turns over like summer time
