Had you been a little bit more Diesel Savy, you would have known that
all myou really needed to do was go grab Momma's Hair Dryer, and blow
HOT Air down the Engine Intake Manifold, and that engine would have
started on the first Compression Cycle of each Cyl. No need for any of
the rest of the Story except you could have driven anywhere you wanted,
as long as you didn;t let the engine cool off....

Ten Thousand Truckers can't be wrong.... and you thought that they kept
those things in the Cab to blow Dry their Hair, Right?

Sounds really logical..... until you begin to wonder why all those
dumb-asses that manufacture the engines take the trouble to install
glow-plugs, doesn't it?

Another question that rears its ugly head is "where do you plug in
your hair-dryer?"

middle of nowhere when it happened.... they stated they were on an AF
