Well the car battery was dead also the F 250 powerstroke would not start. I was down to my bobbed duce! I hit the intake flame thrower and boom she fired right up! I was going to sell it.

I 0 years I was around these things, I never thought about starting the whole 10 years I was in the service including Iraq and afghanistan are mostly HOT!

When the weather beaks up here Im going to put all the new parts on it and keep it! Most people dont want to pay good money for a high quilty job done.
Mostly tire kickers.

Oh well........ I thought I would throw this on the table.

Hello to all here and I support our troops

That's good. I was working on my flame heater but it started letting diesel into to crankcase. I capped the fuel lines. I just give it a squirt of starting fluid. It's nice to know that the deuce will start even when the civi vehicles won't.

Mine fired up at -10F over the weekend too but it wasn't as easy your experience. I had a 600W block heater and 300W pan heater.

What are you using for oil? -10F is quite cold for 15W40.
