My cold 6.0...........

[mjstef]

Finally got my video uploaded. This is how the truck has sounded cold for the last 120K miles. Starts right up all the way to -30* but has always sounded like garbage. My 7.3's didn't get rough till at least -20*!! This start was last week at 20* ABOVE 0!

I think you need to look into that sounds like poo! Did you have it plugged in might help a little.

a wash job couldn't hurt



that does sound pretty bad, hope it gets better.

Have you checked out the new "sticktion" reflash?
Mine runs rough cold too, but not that bad!
Does it run fine if you have it plugged in for a couple hours?

Diesel engines are heat engines. They require heat to run and they don't like to be cold. They make a lot of noise when they are cold. Let it warm up before driving or drive carefully before pouring the coals to it. This is a characteristic of diesel engines.
