Cold Start issue
So it has been cold here the last week. Truck is not plugged in at work and it won't start like it does when it is plugged in at the house.
Today it took 4 tries before it caught and ran. Temperature was in the mid 20's.
So is this normal? I have no CEL, no codes were present when I scanned it.

What does the Scangauge say when you're trying to start it? ICP/IPR, FICM, engine voltage, all that jazz.
In the mid 20's, no it's not cold enough to cause a starting problem just because of the cold. You'll know if there's 15W40 or 5W40 based on how it sounds, but it should start with either.
