Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
First thing, wait until the glow plug light goes out before attempting to start. I suspect that your glow plug controller is faulty & you could very well have bad glow plugs. It seemed to turn over a few more times before starting than I remember. You should change the fuel filter & air filter ASAP and check & change engine oil & filter unless the oil looks good AND you have reasonable proof the oil had been recently changed.
Just like active duty drivers! Knuckleheads.
Yea, I notice that too, wasn't surprise from all the bad stuff I hear how govplanet operates lol
Yea, I assume this is the troop carrier when I saw it
I did, anything I should be very worried about?
sorry, but I have to ask, why would you buy a truck that you have concerns about the motor or something wrong in the videos? Unfortunately the person starting the truck in the video is an idiot and doesn’t know how to operate the trucks starting system. The video doesn’t tell you if the trucks glow plugs are working correctly, the long crank and chugging is either bad glow plugs or just the fact that the fool at GP didn’t wait for the wait light to expire.
I mostly bought this as a project truck, my main plans was to convert this to a 6bt 12 valve or a 4BT cummins, that's if the 6.5 is a bad engine like some claim that it is
Yea, I'm planning on re doing all the fluids, changing the injectors, glow plug control sender, and glow plugs
why injectors, plugs and sender? You have no idea they are an issue at this point
I've heard not some good things about them, I prefer to replace when I first get it then later down the line
Cause some folks can't leave well enough alone. You know how it is, then you end up working on it for them anyway.
