An IDI crank at 40 degrees with no glowplugs no block heater, but using a hair drier to heat the intake lets find out, i just stuck the dryer to the intake when the video started

how far before starting the video did you wrap the cord around the fan?

Sorry....couldnt resist

 

[towcat]

where did you get the idea from?

 

[timothyr1014]

for putting an electric cord in a fan, or using a hair dryer to start a truck?

 

[subliminal]

now you need a 2kw inverter that will power the hair dryer and a remote switch and maybe a few zip ties and duct tape to mount it and you can completly eliminate the gp's

as far as putting the electric cord into the fan, the videographer is very astute in stating the obvious

I used to see my dad do that with his early 80's full size blazer.......The old quadra-junk carb really didn't like the cold and the blazer was used for plowing so the old man cursed every snow storm...

So,...is this a low tech version of the Cummins pre-heater? I suspect the colder out the hotter the hair dryer you would need and longer you would need to run it. Might be useful info to remember if/when the glow plugs quit and you must get 'er going!! Good job.

 

[DeepRoots]

now you just need a leaf blower for a turbo and you'll be set dyoung

 

[65sixbanger]

So this means that it shouldn't take too much heat in the intake/fuel to help these start up right?

 

[dyoung14]

all i need now is a intake heater from a psd and i will fab it in and i will be set
