Hello to all,
The cold has been tough on my rig this year.She left me stranded on the jobsite after sitting for 10 hours in 5* weather.(no electricity on site to plug in).So now I am looking at glow plugs and re-lays or soelenoid? I was told that wellman were the way to go(anyone know of better please do tell). My real quandry is, should I go with a manual system or stay with the factory one. I heard you can hold the button down for a longer time to get the plugs hotter witch helps alot with cold starts. I've been battling this issue for a long time now, it's time to nip it. Also my valve cover gaskets do not leak now, They say they are re-usable and newbies are pricy so replace or reuse??I am the only driver and do not plan on selling and dont mind holdind a button or switch as long as she starts. Now I have to start it at lunch and let it run for 30 min just so it will re-start when I get off. Even then I have to wait 20 to 30 minutes before it will move. Hopefully glow plugs will help with the long wait for warm up. I appreciate all responces and suggestions and thank everyone for thier time and knowledge. Jim the concrete guy
