Humor Fire! Fire! Fire!

OK... so we've got about a foot & a half of snow since Sunday...

I'm pulling in the baryard tonight, and the truck gets stuck in front of the hay barn..

So I rock and I rock, and I rock... and at one point, the truck stalls.

I hit the key, and am rewarded with a "CLICK! CLICK!" out of the starter...

I go in the house, and put on my Refrigerwear, and back outside and dig the truck out.

Youngest daughter comes out to help, I have her climb in the truck while I rap on the starter with a hammer..

FIRE comes spitting out of the back of the starter!

You know, some things are just cool no matter whose truck it is...

I had the same problem and if your starter is like mine on the back where the fire came out will be 2 small bolts mine were loose so I tightened them up and its been fine ever since

the starter turned on its afterburner.

Would that be kinda like my nieghbor, the Mechanic, that usta bum rides to work with me.. cuz his stuff wuz broke ? Kinda like that ??

the best part is...
I have to get the truck running tonight, so I can get a new snowblower tomorrow night. See, the engine on the snowblower siezed up while I was digging out the truck (but that's another story in itself)

Oh yeah.. the temp outside right now?
-6 F

What's the specified cranking RPM for a 7.3? Anyone know?

 

[Crumm]

What's the specified cranking RPM for a 7.3? Anyone know?

With or without the starter afterburner lit?

 

[RSG]

That is with the SAL, I presume!

Good question.

I'm not so sure there would be, or IS a [specified] RPM, but it would surly halfta be 1-200 RPM..... enough to get HPOP pressures up, at a minimum ?
