    A2 (M1123) Cold Starting Trouble

    I've been following your posts with much interest and have a great respect for your knowledge and experience. If I'm reading THIS post correctly, can I assume you mean to say glow plugs don't matter AND the S3 box is the main element in the problem a lot of us are having with these trucks and...

    A2 (M1123) Cold Starting Trouble

    Turns out BOTH the sellers I'd mentioned are selling Wellman plugs, which is what I installed, apparently (3HCM3 being WAP, LLC's MFR code), the "0.0000007% failure rate" line got my attention and it's exactly what all the other wellman sellers put on their webpages). From my photos, it looks...

    A new set of glowplugs did the job for ME. Cranks FAST, but have only tested at 38 to 45 degrees F. Going to get a little colder this week and I'll see if the cold advance is working below 35 degrees. So much information... I just saw an army cartoon to that effect "Your HMMWV doesn't get...

    Thanks. I've got a Nartron smart start sytem, mfr-32498. Beast started right up when temps were 50-70, now it cranks several seconds and blows white smoke briefly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A2 (M1123) Cold Starting Trouble

    Thanks for posting this. I'm troubleshooting the same/similar issue. Hard starting in cold weather, blows out unburnt fuel for a few seconds, warms up, very smooth running after about a minute. Remembered a "smashed switch" I glanced at in the right rear of the engine when I was putting a new...
