Learn how to use the ether before you just go and douse the intake with it.



Tiny shot should do the trick.. And should also void the warranty depending on manufacturer..



Just try to make sure it's plugged in, that's all you can really do.

 

I'll pass on that **** in my diesel.. Good news is I found the heater block and electrical plug for it.. Thank christ... Northerners.. if you have a diesel get one of these.. they make life easier...

 

Oh yeah, and make sure you got a big tough battery. Don't skimp.

 

It doesn't go in your diesel, just spray it into wherever the intake is sucking from.. Before the filter.. You know? Just a TAD though..

 

No ether or starting fluid.. Guess I suck... and the batteries are good too

 

Ether IS starting fluid.



But I understand what you mean. If you have like a new diesel or something they will probably void your warranty if you use it.

 

This is getting old.. I'm beginning to hate my truck with a passion.. I'm supposed to be at work at 5.. central time and I'm not there and I refuse to lose my job over this piece of **** thats parked literally in the street sticking out because I thought I'd roll kick start it, and fate laughs at me by giving me a 6000+ lb truck and a driveway thats frequently used by all the little kids in the neighborhood to get a boost of speed because its the steepest one in the neighborhood.. I'm gonna go postal
