Finally tracked down the bad glow plug in my truck the night before and not a moment too soon!
Started it up this morning and was running on all 8 holes instantly. Might try a cold start in the morning just to see how it does because it's gonna be chilly tonight. Isn't it still november?? haha
My Dad's truck has been giving crap lately on cold start but I think I found the offending air leak and fixed some of the glow plug wiring that was falling apart......GM makes such lovely vehicles.....
A few days before that I did some checking on the ranger too and it seems to fire off ok. I'll have to remember to put some anti-gell in the tanks while I'm at it tomorrow. -10C seems to be when things get interesting and -12 is in the forecast with a good chance of snow when the pacific air finally does start rolling in again. They're calling for rain or sleet, but in reality when the winds change from conditions like this around here - anything can happen.

Diesel fuel #2 should resist gelling down to about -10 deg. F (-23 deg. C).

Such savages. You are supposed to buy your meat from a reputable, certified supermarket where the animals have been killed in a humane manner according well established to internationally accepted standards. Its also worth noting that eating meat will become an increasing morally unacceptable act in the years to come as more realize that killing a defenseless animal for food is not only wrong, but unhealthy and unnecessary since a vegan diet is better suited to humans due to their primate physiology.
If you read through all of that crap before loosing your temper - you get a gold star LMAO.
Seriously though, happy hunting!
