Diesel engines provide a ton of torque, great reliability, and a good bit of economy, but they can be really tough to start when the temperature drops.

Diesel engines are pretty different to gas engines, and that extends to cold starts. Cold starts can somewhat hurt a diesel engine, but it's not that simple.

The best solution to cold weather diesel starting problems is to avoid them by being prepared for cold weather before it happens. Diesel engines are harder to start in cold weather because they ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 109, SECTION 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (2000), pp. 250-280 (31 pages) Analysis of the cold-starting performance of diesel engines requires the development of advanced models to ...

There are cold starts, and then there's this cacophony of sounds you get when trying to start a diesel truck at 30-below-zero.

Right oil mixture. Today's engines prefer high-viscosity oils — such as 5W-20 — that flow through your engine more smoothly in cold temperatures.

Battery A 7.3L Ford Power Stroke engine might crank over but will not start without sufficient voltage for the ECM. Low battery power also can prevent glow plugs from warming properly (in cold ...
