Alright guys my father wanted me to ask you what would cause his truck to backfire while starting it?
It got down to 0° last night, he says anytime it's below 10° outside he has to go out every 3 hours and start it.. If not it won't start the next morning. Well he didn't realize it got quite as low as it did last night and went out this morning to start the truck and it backfired and blew the muffler apart when it backfired. It Also broke the starter bolts.
As for maintenance I'm not exactly for sure.. I know that he just had fuel pump and filter done about a month ago..
Also I'm not for sure if check engine light is on or not as the truck is in the shop right now.. But he wanted me to post it up here and see if anyone had any clues what to look at for why it backfired and the hard starting when it's cold out.
