That cold start sounded downright sickly. It took like 15 seconds for idle to even out and you're in Texas?? I'm not trying to dog your truck or anything, just curious as to what causes the hard starts- the lower compression?
Awesome vid. Keep em coming

I'll see about taking some more, and clearer vids of my 24V before I put it up for sale.
The 12V has allready been sold, but not the motor. PM me.

The cold start was from overfueling, and low compression.
The truck was not plugged in, and has no grid heaters. It had also sat for 3-4 days in 30*F weather. Not to mention the Huge injectors, the cam, the head, and the dropped compression.
1,500*F will melt something, but it has to be there for more than a few seconds. If I recall correctly, Cummins says 1400* for 30 seconds? (or 5 seconds? )
