I've never had one of these old Fords that liked to start when it was below about 10 degrees... My latest one seems to do ok now that I put a decent battery in it. But, just discovered the ground cable is starting to fray... always some little thing waiting to bite me!

Ford's in general aren't very good when it's cold. They're like me, they like it nice and warm out!!

Yeah (stupid thing) changed the fuel filters on friday, it's running okay now. Man, that really rattled my faith in diesels in cold weather. I know it's just the fuel, but that's a vulnerability I could do without!!

That is frustrating... when we lived in Montana, lots of folks drove diesels in bitter cold without any trouble. Guess it depends on folks selling the correct winter blended fuel.
