Impala was fine this morning.
Suburban was not as pleased. It’s sat for about a week and a half and for shits and giggles I tried to start it this morning.
No go

garage and odyssey dry cell ftw
I’ve got an odyssey 680 dry cell. and it sat from 5pm sat to monday morning
1991 Buick Century $300
Remote Start $129
Laying in my warm bed while hitting the button… priceless!
The bitch started right up!
you said it won’t stay running. if it does start, the battery isn’t gonna make it stall.
The Heavy Moover Started right up as well at 430am today
:bowrofl: :bowrofl:
no go on the exploder today.
Somone asked me the other day about diesels needing plugged in, and it’s mentioned here? What gives?
teeheehee, my cammed monster fired right up after being outside all night :kekegay:
Diesels do take a lot of power to crank over. While a typical V8 gas engine may use about 300 to 400 amps electrical power in the starter to crank the engine at temperatures below minus 20C, a diesel starter will use almost double that. Most of the power is used to compress the air. Gasoline engines have compression ratios around 9.5:1 (the amount of times the air is squeezed or compressed in the cylinder during the compression stroke). Diesel engines use compression ratios of 16:1 up to about 20:1. The higher compression ratios used in diesel engines gives them better efficiency, but makes them harder to crank.
Diesel vehicles have bigger batteries, larger diameter battery cables and heavy-duty starters for cold weather cranking. Many large V8 diesel-powered vehicles will use two batteries to provide the electrical power for cranking the engine. Just as with gas-powered vehicles, cold weather decreases the battery power available. In colder parts of Canada, battery blankets are often installed around batteries so they can be plugged in at the same time as the block heater to keep the battery warm.
High diesel engine compression ratios do something else - it heats the air, which is used to ignite the fuel. Gasoline engines use sparkplugs to ignite the fuel already in the cylinder. Diesel engines heat the air by compressing it and then fuel is injected into the hot air, which starts it burning immediately. The engine must crank over fast enough to heat the air or a diesel won’t start. Minimum cranking speed for many diesel engines is about 100 rpm. Below that, the air cools off to fast and the fuel doesn’t ignite.
Preheaters are used on most diesel engines to help heat the air during start up. Intake manifold heaters use an electrical coil inside the intake manifold to heat the air as it enters the engine. Glow plugs are individual heaters screwed into each cylinder that glow red hot during engine cranking. Both these heaters operate for only a few seconds during engine starting. If they were to operate for longer periods, they would burn out, which was common before computer controls took over the task of monitoring and operating heater control. If an intake heater or glow plugs are not working, the engine may be difficult to start, run rough and create white smoke during starting and initial operation. Once the cylinders warm up, the engine will run fine.
^ thats a cut and paste if i ever seen one… lol
my turd fired right up, Remote Start to the rescue. ahhh
you mean you hate neon problems? because mine did the EXACT same thing last year with a new battery…had to stay in it for a good 2 minutes rev’ing a bit to get it to stay running
TB starts fine stays running
Blazer misfires a bit when cold
yup it was…i know y they get plugged in but i figured a little more detail explanation is alittle better
My remote starter worked to…“Go start my car bitch”
nice one joe, i bet the batteries never die on it too
That shit is great aint it!!
having a nice toasty truck to go out to in the morning when it sits outside is great
It was only 11 degrees, I don’t see what the problem is here.
What I enjoyed was the first hour of working bringing me $60 in commission from people who figured out it was time for a new battery
WHERES THE SMILIES ???
That’s how you can tell it was cut an pasted…
