That starter trick doesn't work if your motor locks up...lol. Then what do you do? Call your buddy whos a few miles behind you to come drag you into someone driveway. Or wait for a Subaru...

Those WRX's pack a lot of punch...
IT guy has one....It will throw your ### against the seat like any muscle car.....
This is a good reason why "single-props" should just "park-it" when it snows.....
Hear that FedEx?????? -
I was at a truck stop and after fueling my truck would not start and was stuck on the fuel island.
I called breakdown service and a guy comes out with a Chevy pickup truck type of tow truck to give me a pull start.
I said are you sure this thing is strong enuff ? he says oh yea yea.
Well he hooked up the cable pulled me and when I dumped the clutch to start her up it ripped the whole cable right of the boom of that wrecker. -
I have had to pull-start my Pete with my Superduty with a load of pipe on the trailer....
I guess the the tow-truck should have been a Ford....Stroked F550 Thanks this. -
I got pull started by an old Datsun pickup once when my starter went out in a rest area.

I've never had a truck that you had to push in the clutch to start. However the truck I had at FFE has the kyswitch and then another button on the dash you have to push at the same time to start it.
-
I had a truck the had a Ether button on the dash with a bottle of ether screwed in under the hood. That was cool.
-
What gear did you use? Always put the transmission in the high side, at least 7th or better to avoid shock to driveline and the vehicle pulling you. 9th on a 10 speed is a good gear most times. -
Yea I was a new guy then and had never done it before and to the tow truck guy said put it in third.
