Liberty CRD cold start
This is my first winter with my Liberty diesel. It never hesitates to start immediately after the glow plug indicator goes out. My only concern may be totally unfounded, but I thought I'd ask this newsgroup: Noisy as it is at cold start (and using B10) I've noticed that since the temp has dropped this past week to -20C, or -4F, the noise it makes at the moment of ignition is something like a load of lumber being dropped. It is a VERY loud "crack" and then settles down. From then on it runs like a dream. I was just wondering if anyone else has one of these and is (finally) subjected to sub-zero temperatures. Thanks |
Re: Liberty CRD cold start
Sounds like my superduty in the morning. When it's this cold (-3F) I use th
eengine block heater overnight. Did you get one? <budman@frozenorth.ca> wrote in message news:esois25pp2j7ru42060fnoci1pfgocu9qr@4ax.com... > > This is my first winter with my Liberty diesel.

Re: Liberty CRD cold start
Yup, I have a block heater. I've got a timer that's set for 1-hr ON- 1-hr OFF,
back and forth. I was just wondering what's "normal" as far a diesel noise is concerned. It is warranted for 5 years, so if there was something not right, then I'm sure it will fail long before that time. It's just that initial racket when starting that's different at below zero temps. >> >>Sounds like my superduty in the morning. When it's this cold (-3F) I use th >>eengine block heater overnight.

At these temps, an hour for the block heater isn't going to do a lot of

Re: Liberty CRD cold start
You don't have to leave it on all night.
What I do/did is buy a timer and have it come on 4 hours before you normally leave for work or whatever. This works well for me I also have a battery blanket warmer installed. On the coldest days it starts up like it was tropical outside. And it's throwing heat before I get to Tim Horton's for my morning coffee :-) Next is an in-cab heater Matt Macchiarolo wrote: > At these temps, an hour for the block heater isn't going to do a lot of > good.

I did that as well and found it warms up a lot quicker if it's left on
overnight especially if it's below 10F and windy.
