Anyone close to DIA?
I'm in the parking lot and the super duty seems to have lost the ability to cold start in 40* temps. Could use some jumper cable action while I cycle the glow plugs.

I could be out there around 2:30 if you are still stuck. On a call until 2pm. I'm about 30 minutes away. I'll call you when I'm done with my call.
1975 Ranger Edition that I've had longer than I've been without it.

It's a combination of issues. Mostly revolving around the injectors I suspect. With 225k on the odo, the first part of its life spent in Texas, and three transmissions, I think it just had a little bit of a hard life in the beginning.
I'll be pulling the injectors this week to put new o-rings on them and see if that makes a difference. If not, I'll be ordering up some Stage 1s from Ryan Casserly at Full Force Diesel, a Terminator T500 HPOP and new tunes from DP or PHP. Combined with the need for new tires AND a regear, and it's not going to be a good season for the Bronco fund.
