Glow plugs
« on: December 08, 2020, 07:49:38 AM »
How many of you guys who were driving a diesel all the time. Got up on a cold morning and got into your gasoline vehicle, turned on the key then just sat there lol. Until you realized this vehicle has no glow plugs.
Old habits I guess, but I still find myself doing that.

Kind of like after driving manual shift cars for years you stomp on the floor because your automatic automobile gots no clutch, or stomping on the floor to dim your headlight when it is up on the steering column lever.

I do that also, showing our age Bob. Daughter asked why are you stomping on the floor Dad?

On the rare occasion it starts
raining when I'm driving, I
still reach for the dash and
feel for the wiper knob that
isn't there
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .
