The one thing I don't like about my Dmax is the sound. It is getting better, with about 14K on it now, but it sounds more like a jet engine than a diesel. A new exhaust is on the horizon for that one.

Tom

Tom, I walked past a parked Dmax a few weeks ago and didn't notice that it was running until I was RIGHT next to it. I thought of you and observed a little moment of silence. Granted, it wasn't all that silent cuz my ears were still ringing from driving my straight piped truckLOL

Tonka, that's way too much extra room to work under the hood in that PS. LOL You're likely to fall in and get stuck. Careful now.

That wasn't a cold start:

That is a cold start... -38, not plugged in, block heater shorted out... Too bad I had the camera set on the wrong quality, and it cut off before the truck dissapeared in a cloud of smoke... LOL. The truck started on one cycle of the glows, credit the 0W40 and 2 new batts for that.

After it'd been running for a half hour... still cooooold

I have a good cold(30 degrees, not plugged) start vid of my 6.9 here somewhere... It's on the other computer I guess.

Sorry, but this happened to catch my eye...

When I'm driving 50mph on the highway, it sounds like I'm laying next to an 8V71 in a tugboat!!!
If you haven't already, you might want to get your timing checked.

When I first got my truck, the sound it made strongly resembled the 2-stroke Detroit knock. This was surprising, compared to the 6.9l E-350 I used to own that was nice and quiet. Turned out that the pump timing on the truck was a mile off, and the injectors needed to be replaced.

Just something to consider...

BTW, Adrian, I think you're pretty well torpedoed yourself LOL

Yep, Speeder I think she's got you licked

...I won't expound. LOL

You guys should throw your vids on a poll and see who wins. I bet Mellow Yellow could get a speeder wrenching on it for a weekend if the bet is made right.

So.... who's your NASCAR driver? Ah, Mark Martin, right... whos he driving for? thats right I think he left FORD... for TOYOTA, (Too Often Yankees Overprice This Auto) :rotflmao Ok, so whos your backup driver?.... Dale Jarret... also.... driving for TOYOTA, (The One You Ought To Avoid) :rotflmao and your problem with Kasey is...?


oh and by the way... last i checked you live north of the mason dixon, and if you can throw a rock to yer neighbors house that ain't country!:flipa

Careful there with yer Toyota comments....The new Toyotas are more American made than most of the new Fords, Chevys, and Dodges....

If and when Toyota comes out with a Diesel in the new Tundra, it'll likely put Ford out of business....

Ryan

(what am I gonna say- I work for Toyota!)

Here's my contribution :D

(I know it isn't a "cold start", but still sounds cool...and sorry for the Dodge LOL also note that I didn't go into the water pit until after I knew it was shallow enough that water wouldn't get into my intake)

I don't think there's any language in this video (the friend who took it let an F-bomb slip in another video; I posted that one in the Refinery :D )...
