Well, I want to mimmick the others from Alaska. I have not had a bit of trouble starting, even if unplugged, running #2 diesel just added qt of fuel additive and it helped. Someone ask about tires, not as bad if have radials, old bias will have flat spots for about 5-10 minutes. I got my from Gamble, also know a few guys up there.

AWESOME I can't believe the power. I've been running on the 65HP 150 LBSTorque setting. The 100HP setting is insane.The exhaust alone made a big difference in performance.

I don't plug it in at all . Same temp as Wilba's since we live in the same state. The truck starts right up.

What possibly could it do to the motor when starting that cold?

I run Howes conditioner and thats it.

Where I work they dont plug in the trucks either L-9000 tractors,but if its real bad they just leave them idling all night
