Use a block heater, a lot easier on the starter, the engine, the glow plugs etc. As I recall, that was a Chevy diesel. Detroit and Chevy both owned by GM but not the same. I had a 6.2 naturally aspirated in a 1 ton in Alaska. Had to start it once in Chena Hot Springs at -50 F, ran the block heater and battery blankets for two days before, wrapped an electric blanket around the engine, it was still hard to start but the old rig finally fired up. It's a good engine.

Really cool to see that vintage of truck being appreciated, especially by what sounds like a pretty young guy. I'm early 50s now so this was a childhood time truck for me (my parents had 1978 & 1980 Blazer's at the same time from new but just Gas versions). Not sure if the 2002 is your birth year or what but that would make you older than I thought from just hearing you, Either way, I just got a 2007.5 DURAMAX pickup that I love but 50% of people act funky like "why don't you have a new $65K - $90K truck?" Well it's my 4th vehicle for 2 drivers and just pulls a camper or some hauling work. Anyway, just think it's really cool to see a guy younger than me I think, have such love and appreciation for what is still a working, strong useable truck. My 1st vid but I;m going to look through more.

Yeah that is because they were designed to have a forged crank but general motors cheaped out and put a cast iron crank in and the reason that the crankshaft fails is because the harmonic balancer fails, because the crankshaft is made out of cast iron it relies heavily on the harmonic balancer to not grenade itself so to fix that issue you get a fluid damper and fluid dampers don't fail as soon as a regular rubber harmonic balancer.
