Hey brother honestly I own a 01 damn near same i start mine in the negatives with out it being plugged in it was dead dormant for weeks so block was solidly frozen pluged batterys in and it started in 3 cranks 7.3s are gods no need to play it out like its a test for the truck mine also has 267k on just in case
Use some archoil every oil change and she’ll start so much faster and no smoke.. and your injectors will thank you later.. just fired mine right up yesterday at 3 degrees.
I've been using hot shot stiction eliminator in the oil and everyday diesel in the fuel, mine started in -1 temps this morning no issues. I've always wanted to try Archoil but the cost has been a bit hard to swallow haha
Oh crap y'all had deal with the winter freeze too where ever your at in Texas. It was pretty bad where I'm at in Texas as well. This truck sound super cool
Ahh I wear shorts until we hit below zero. OK I always wear shorts. My 7.3 has never not started from zero on up. Getting the doors open is another story! Nice truck brother!
We cold started a old Detroit in a 1969 359 Pete and that sum bitch smoked us out of the shop took an hour just to clear the smoke out of the shop my buddies dad didn't have a heater in his shop
Off question: I just got a 2000 7.3. It’s running fine and all but when I crank it the the oil light stays illuminated a couple seconds afterwards. Is that normal? I’m new, sorry…
Here in Toronto we've been through a mad cold spell. Overnight lows around -15F every night for like 3 weeks & got about 3 feet of snow in the meantime. And guess what, our trucks are made for this s*it #gowinter
@@powerstrokecentral awesome I'm from.a small town called Hereford 45 miles west of Amarillo up in the Panhandle but I currently live in Vernon I was thinking if you want to maybe one day you can come to Vernon and we can hang out
Thats but a dusting where we come from. I got a chuckle out of your video. Nice 7.3. Check out my -15F cold start from last year ruclips.net/video/nvHQH68n4N0/видео.html
There’s a company in Alaska I was told a few weeks ago. But it gets pretty cold in Alaska. Due to this, this company first ever really shut there truck engines off. So they buy whatever 7.3 engines they can find, rebuild them so they can run them in their trucks. Point is apparently they are good trucks. Especially for running for such a long time in the cold!
New 6.7... won't start in the cold. Dead batteries that won't charge. Dead starter dealer replaced it. They're too stupid to replace the batteries which are ruining the starter solenoid. Not enough juice in the weak factory batteries to warm the glow plugs in cold weather. All under warranty but will have to start fixing things out of pocket it I don't want to get stranded more.
“So much snow it’s on the tires!” Canada, Hold my beer lol
😂😂
Like I’m still driving with my summer tires in that snow
I’m in Canada fall is colder than your guys winter
Please don’t rev truck when it’s warming up it’s painful to watch
I rev the piss out of mine I’m rebuilding my motor anyways
There's nothing dangerous about starting the engine when it's cold that's what they're designed to do
Driving on the other hand...
Hell yea I’m Houston got down to 14 down here and mine started up as well 7 tree I ain’t changing it for nothing bro!
Darn right brotha! 7tree gang!
I'm used to it up here in Massachusetts but i still hate the cold! In 2015 we had 108 inches, It was awlful, never thought it would melt!
Holy crap did you literally couldn’t breathe without the snow!
Also from mass always gotta leave the diesels plugged in
7.3 and 5.9 should never have a problem cold starting

This honestly could’ve been 1 minute long. Never have I heard someone talk so much h about snow and a cold start
That’s why they make the 10 second skip button
Welcome to Ohio weather, now you know how it feels.
Hahah can’t wait to say welcome to Texas when it’s 100 degrees there lol. Just joking. 😂
I live in N ga and it was in the 20s overnight lows so I always plug mine in!
Oh crap y'all had deal with the winter freeze too where ever your at in Texas. It was pretty bad where I'm at in Texas as well. This truck sound super cool
my '01 started right up in -1 degree cold this morning in New England.

Do you still have a fuel bowel, air intake heater, and EVBP valve?
Ahh I wear shorts until we hit below zero. OK I always wear shorts. My 7.3 has never not started from zero on up. Getting the doors open is another story! Nice truck brother!
Welcome to winter! Shows you take care of your old girl there, I have to just to get to work haha
Thanks for stopping by
just found you. man your a talker! but entertaining enough to see what else you got in this channel lol
14 degrees and I’m over here at -35 for most of the week in Alaska lol
that weather is nothing for these trucks
Whats that whining sound when its idling, mine does the same thing and I cant figure it out. Its a faint sound but it bothers me…
Up here thats warm
Hahah I bet lol.
We cold started a old Detroit in a 1969 359 Pete and that sum bitch smoked us out of the shop took an hour just to clear the smoke out of the shop my buddies dad didn't have a heater in his shop

I never saw someone talks so much about starting a truck
That truck is a meat hammer. Hell yea man 🔥🔥
Thanks bro lol
Off question: I just got a 2000 7.3. It’s running fine and all but when I crank it the the oil light stays illuminated a couple seconds afterwards. Is that normal? I’m new, sorry…
Yeah that’s normal just as long as it doesn’t stay on
@@powerstrokecentral thanks for the quick response. I know nothing about them so everything worries me right now.
@@kenstocks your welcome bro
It takes a second for it to build oil pressure
So. What is the solution?? I saw how much snow you have.
good old powerstrokes
Yessir lol

you have never seen real snow lol
This guy talking about 5" like it's big snow. That's a light dusting in Wyoming. Move somewhere that gets 4 feet overnight.
Damn son that pretty damn impressive that it actually started no block heater plug 🔌 in 🤷
7.3, start at 15 below no block heater... if you put fuel additives to keep it from turning to gel....
@@Erbbrothers
Well I gonna do that to but the block heater would definitely help I mean it no there for a reason
Look at how much snow he says lmao
Yeah you got snow but at the cost of the power XD i lost mine
Shoot just realized what this comment was saying lol. Yeah man my powers been out for days.
Such a normal amount of snow for michigan
I bet lol
That’s not a lot of snow ❄️
He sounds like he grew up in South Beach Miami
How you said it takes 2 mins to plug it in maybe 2 mins to plug into the wall but like 45 mins-1 hour to actually have it so anything
I live in Minnesota and I'm a Trucker 14 above is nothing when it's below zero then your talking cold
Yeah gotta plug in the block heater in that weather
You’re from Texas ?! What part ?!
Yessir San Antonio
Oh shit me too man but rn I’m stationed in Germany. Ooof I miss my 7.3, I can’t drive it over here so it’s back in SA.
What part of Texas are you from?
san antonio

dang dude hats crazy ive never heard of those problems in the newer 6.7 but i also dont have a 6.7 so i dont really know the issues.
Almost 3 mins of lead up only for it to just start....and then give us a recap of it starting....
That’s why they have the skip 10seconds
Si sente l’odore di greppo.
wtf was dangerous about this
