Oddly, one of the best starting diesels I ever had was a 3208. Just breathe on the starter and it was going. Granted when cold, it would blow a little blue smoke for a bit. The 3126 has longer crank times due to the HEUI but I have yet to see blue smoke out of it. Also funny how good that intake heater works. Fired up with that nasty cold diesel growl, then quickly cleans up as the intake heater brings it to life.
But I guess I am totally excluding my little Duramax. That girl will fire off in any temp. At close to 250k miles, it has no blowby and uses no oil. Isuzu nailed that engine platform.
