2016 Freightliner starting issues...

OK have no idea what it was. But oh no it had sexual innuendo, and was unacceptable in a truck drivers open forum. Why it was down right enough to get suspended. My my my what' next? They might put it on the op's "permanent record" Maybe I woke up cranky this morning. Bit I remember a time. When people lives didn' exist on these boards. And adults could throw around innuendos without fear of being banned.

 

It has to do with the presentation of the forum to the outside world than it does if we can handle the bad language. This site gets indexed quickly and some of those titles are what the people see first.

 

I don't have my CDL just yet, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night. FWIW, I'm a certified Cummins tech. #1 - that guy in the video is a knucklehead. He has a reputation for saying some of the goofiest things in his many, many YouTube vids. #2 - If an engine cranks, but won't start, and you don't know why, it's best to leave the can of starting fluid at home. #3 - If the engine cranks, but won't start and it's because of the cold (white smoke...usually), it won't hurt to use starting fluid SPARINGLY. #4 - Best not to use starting fluid on an engine that is equipped with glow plugs. That's a no-no and can lead to some major dents to the underside of your hood. #5 - Every engine manufacturer today cautions against the use of starting fluid because that's what their attorneys told them to include in their operations manual.

Bottom line is that starting fluid is a tool. If you don't know how to use the tool, some one or some thing is liable to get hurt or damaged.

 

"Back then" if you made comments deemed inappropriate in front of a guys mother, girl, or kids - you'don't get a warning then a whopping.

No thrashing necessary.
Seemed innocent enough; kinda playful,
to get us lunkhead Truck drivers to pay attention to her plight.
Sure got my attention.
