Cold starting?
I will be leaving my new 6.0 at the Airport parking lot this upcoming week. Obviously no where to plug in. Will I have any problems starting after sitting for 10 days? I usually keep it in the garage so don't have to worry about cold. Low temps are usually in upper teens, low 20's this time of year.

No, I don't think you will hear a complaint about cold start of the 6.0. Mine has been excellent. Started after sitting overnight in -15* without being plugged in. I let the glow plug light go out, waited another minute or so, cycled the key, let the light go out again and it fired right off. PS I'm in Minnesota, and it does get cold here every now and then.

You should be fine since I did leave my here for 10 days and it did start just fine as the weather is similar to your. So, enjoy tour vacation.
