Cold start and my personal stuff

I thought y'all might like this video I made tonight. It goes on for a bit but there is a cold start and some straight pipe revs I know y'all get giddy over. There is some personal stuff I talk about but I think everyone here can appreciate it.

Yes, it was cold out and I was freezing my buttocks off.

Late night cold start of the 7.3 IDI and some of my personal stuff - YouTube

Thanks, buddy. I hope she likes the rumble of my old Diesel. Everything she says just makes me feel right. She's a bit younger than I am but I don't mind. I might have a few years on her but she sounds so good! And I'm not talking about the truck! LOL.

Ah come on now, it's 10*F here today, I kind of find that warm And wow I don't know I didn't even hear the starter, just an IDI roar

I fired up my 6.9 camper for the first time in 2 months 2 weeks ago, fired right off at 20*F. 1 glow cycle.



Congrats on the new date and those pipes sure sounds good

Our date didn't go as planned. The place was packed and somehow we missed each other. I'm gonna try again for another day.

Haha, I'm sure that's not too far from the truth. I did clean up before I went, though. At least as much as I could.

Yea, My wife says the same thing then adds, JUST DON'T BRING THAT SMELL IN MY HOUSE!

I've probably built a thousand motors inside our houses across the years, my shop is always to dusty/dirty/dog hairy/oversprayed/etc ...

I restored a 69 bug with a Pinto motor for power in our first houses front room, then tore a wall down to get it out, we were living in Bremelo City (Bremmerton, WA for those non military) at the time.

-Enjoy
