Cold Start

I guess all of the fluid changes, new glow plugs, and battery maintenance worked. Was -2 when i started the truck this morning, did not plug it in, 2 seconds after the WTS light went out, hit the key and fired right up.

Now that I am done testing my work, time to plug it in so its toasty warm sooner, calling -5 tonight, -7 tomorrow night currently.

Good to hear Tom. My truck won't start in -2 weather, but that's probably because you won't catch me going outside to even try if it ever gets that cold. Had to dig out the insulated boots since the high was only 50 today.
