Why? I own a Ford.

 

[Definitive Dave]

lmao thats just wrong

the plug in is just for block heater right ?

It has a harbor freight battery tender hard wired to the drivers side battery. Then that cable and the block heater (oem Ford) cable are plugged into a 10 gauge splitter securely fastened under the hood. It ran that way for more than 3 years. The male end of the splitter is the melty end.

If you go to franklin's barbecue in Austin, you'll immediately change your mind. There's a reason lines to get in are usually 3 blocks long

I use to watch him when he had a show in public television. He came to the American Royal bbq competition in KC and got smoked.

For six months? Sounds like it needs some glow plugs.

Was left plugged in basically to keep the batteries charged during prolonged non-use period. New glow plugs and relays very early this year.
The Hulk has become more and more of a hard starter over the last 2 years I would say.
Thinking I want to get everything right and sell it maybe.

How many miles is on your truck Dave? Shouldn't have to plug it in unless it's below zero.

Lol ask Ed how much fun they are to work on. If it's got high mileage the injectors are due to be rebuilt or replaced. They don't like to start with tired injectors.

I'll ship it to ya
mileage under 250 I think, 2002 F350SD 7.3

Hmm, high in mileage? Might be time for a rebuild.

My injectors were pretty much done at 225,000. Your due at 250,000. It's not that bad of a job. If I was close I would get you fixed right up.

Lol 80,000 is when a dirtymax needs it's first set of injectors.

I have never once plugged my block heater in. Ever.

The older 7.3's we see are a beeotch to get started once it falls below 50 here. But, higher miles, excessive injector return rates, poor batteries and glow plugs all factor in.

Work on a few diesels stuffed in van bodies and the trucks seem like cake after..

Only the LB7. And there are not likely any left out there that have not been replaced.
And back in the day, some were 30,000...
