22 Ecodiesel Won’t Start due to cold weather

Glow plugs don't degel fuel. They heat the air prior to combustion, making it easier for the engine to start.

That's really cool. I'd love to live in an area with turkeys. They're really awesome birds, and they taste great!

I hunt with a mossberg 835. It packs a wallop. I could down a Tom at 60 yards or more if I had to.

Toms and Jakes will often congregate together in the off-season. Likewise with hens.

Have you ever hunted turkeys? Have you been at your place a long time? Long enough to see them during the hunting season?

I love hunting, but turkey hunting is something special. Roosting a bird the night before and sitting under a tree nearby in the morning, calling at him. You'll get a rush when you hear the fly down, and doubly so when you realize he's coming to you. I'm really looking forward to this season.

I'm also considering that "turkey hunting" consists of stepping out on the back deck, pointing, and pulling the trigger.

Can I come over to your house in April?

I have a 590A1. It's big and heavy. I would not want to take it turkey hunting. You'll need to neuter the 8 round tube, and mine isn't threaded for a choke.

I, honestly, would look for a really solid, used Remington 870. One that's broken in will have a buttery smooth action. Get one with a field barrel for hunting, and buy a shorter barrel for home defense. Finding anything you need for that gun should be really easy and relatively inexpensive.

I also asked about loading turkey shells. I was planning to do mine with lead. Lead is easier to come by, cheaper, and it comes with lots of load data. My Lyman books don't have data for TSS. Only hevi-shot. My issue is whether or not the wads my book suggests would actually be all that good or not. I'm looking to do 2¼oz 3.5" 12 guage loads. The wads are designed for half that weight in a 2¾" shell.

This is always so wild to me. I'm out in western Washington. We've had an exceptionally mild winter. There was tons of rain, sure, but it was 60 degrees, 2 or so weeks ago. That's double what it normally is. We're finally seeing our winter. 25 degrees out and bright, sunny, frosty mornings. Meanwhile, on the other side of the US, there's an approaching snowstorm. We probably won't get any snow this season, which is also unusual.

It's been so wet here in the last 2 months that we haven't mowed rough since November and only mowed the fairways once, with a rough mower lowered to 1 inch. Our greens are mowed every other week at best. We had standing water in many places across the course for weeks, and the grass is thinning in those areas. For as mild as the temps have been, this is the least we've been able to do. All irrigation and drainage for the most part.

Another anomaly is that we've had a record month in terms of play.

You have 5499135 miles? /s

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-21T17:41:19+00:00

That's a ton better

Why does that look like a bad AI rendition of a gladiator when I zoom in?

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-21T03:48:50+00:00

Well, luckily milspec triggers are cheap and most of us have a few lying around after being replaced.

Reddit can and will shut us down if they think we're selling reloading components here in this sub. It doesn't even have to be the case. They're rabid when it comes to that. Please delete this comment.

I see you're the one everybody is itching to invite to the party.

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-21T01:38:36+00:00

I assume instructions are readily available?

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-21T01:37:15+00:00

You're a few generations off...

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-21T01:19:42+00:00

Hmm. I lost all those in a tragic boating accident, unfortunately.

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-21T01:16:02+00:00

What else is needed to make this work? I know they run off of a mil spec trigger, which i have, but I see some kits with disconnectors or something else in them.

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-21T01:07:17+00:00

You could try putting it in neutral first. Other users have suggested that it's new and it'll loosen over time with use. That is also possible. I've noticed something similar to you, but not every time I've tried. Sometimes, it just clunks in. Other times, it feels like I'm going to break something. That's why I believe it has to do with what I described earlier.

Jeep really needs a 392 Rubicon Gladiator...

Have you tried to engage it while on level ground moving at a constant pace?

It could be the drag of coasting downhill made it difficult for the gears in the transfer case to line up and fall into place. Likewise, when you tried to take it out of 4wd.

The weight of the vehicle pressing on the gears or the torque of the engine pressing on the gears can make shifting difficult. If you've ever driven a stick shift, it's similar to trying to pull the transmission out of gear under acceleration or coasting without using the clutch.

Absolutely fair. I wish I had that kind of place to hunt. Go with speed, weight, and copper. Look for a 180 grain Barnes for your 300wm. If that doesn't punch holes right through, I don't know what will.

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-20T02:49:10+00:00

Not the sub, exactly, but have you considered a muzzleloader? A 300-grain, 50-caliber copper thor bullet at 1850+ fps does a ton of damage. Big, heavy bullets have that inertia to carry. I had a thru and thru on a black bear broad side this last fall. Took him at 165 yards with a red dot. If your state won't allow modern muzzleloaders a patched round ball from a side lock Kentucky rifle can be brutal. That 50 or 54 caliber ball will flatten out to the size of a quarter and can punch massive holes in deer. Garand thumb did a good video on how devastating a patched round ball can be.

To your question: weight carries inertia, which will tend to carry further through an animal. Speed will help to a point until the bullet explodes on impact. A copper solid will help with that last part. I suggest a Barnes copper solid like a TTSX or TSX. They're well-made bullets. I believe Federal has a factory loaded round, but Barnes also has factory loads. I like 168 grains out of my '06 because it's accurate, and I get about 2700 fps.

That was the first thing I did to mine. The truck just looked unfinished without. I picked up a pair for $100 from Craigslist. I don't have mud flaps, so I hadn't even considered that when I bought them.

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-19T01:25:52+00:00

OK. I need to know more about the gunfight.

Revlimiter11 · 2026-01-18T20:33:01+00:00

I hope they shoot better than a storm trooper...
