If it's above 40*, I don't even have to wait.... just crank it and it goes! I usually DO wait, but there are times when I think I'm in the Lincoln! I LOVE THIS TRUCK!

That's the point worth keeping in this thread. After talking to a turbine mechanic...jet engines function very similar to a diesel by the way, just fewer moving parts. Thought that was interesting and it would explain how Virgin Atlantic few that plane from Europe to North America on B100 last summer.
