what is the # 1 used for? should it be used when the temp gets real low? or will #2 work all winter long? i had trouble starting the truck monday and fueled up with # 1 by accident, it does start a lot better tho.. i may have a glow plug bad (will have to look into it this weekend)the temp here in wisconsin is about 10 degrees,does anyones truck not start on the first cycle of the glow plugs, i didnt let it crank for more than10-15 seconds.and i should not touch the throttle at all till she fires correct???jacxk k
