1991 Suburban 4x4

i was wondering (for my own personal wondering), how cold is it before it wont start? my dad has a 91 with a banks kit and if its below 50 it wont start unless its been plugged in for 1/2 hr. or so...yet, another kid i know who has a 90 (i think) with a 6.2 (no turbo) starts at -35 EASILY (his has 300k on motor, 400k on chassis, and my dad's only has 160k)...like he doest give it gas or nothin, just lets the glow plugs warm for 10 seconds and he's off to the races...so yea, jw

Yes Kevin I know the engine needs cleaning, this bitch is old and has a lot of miles!
Torbs, there wasn't a day when this truck didn't start. When it gets really cold out, it takes some cranking, but it will start every day. I usually got it to start by holding the gas pedal to the floor when it was very very cold out. I don't know shit about diesels, so I couldn't tell you what could be done to help that, but I know it does start every day.

aight, thanks...jw, because it seems my dad's is the only one that sucks at starting that i've seen...once its running its fine, but getting it to start sucks...my only guess (and i have no clue if this is right or not or w/e) is that somthing is wrong in the wiring with the glowplugs...somthing around that effect...anywho, back to the task at hand...somebody buy troy's "clug clug clug"diesel!!(make that sound and you sound like a diesel truck...wow im tired)

All diesel's are hard to start when its freezing outside. The diesel fuel thickens in colder weather. There's additives you can add to the fuel to help. Someone buy this up, I've driven in it, not a bad winter tow vehicle.
