Funny. Matt taught me how to do it in his garage in Hendersonville on his truck. The next two times he and I did it were on MY truck in Hendersonville, so I guess he's changed his methods. I was just relaying how he taught me and what he told me and what worked for us with no problems.

And FWIW....I've "cold" started motors for 30+ years. Everything from 4 cylinder diesels to 16 cylinder 2500hp cooper superior natural gas motors, so I do know just a little.
