How does your 6.7 do in the cold

Did better than I thought it would on a 100 mile drive. Had to wear my bibs, but otherwise she handled fine.

WOW, at those temps I'd think you would need heaters for the tranny and diff's too. That would be some MIGHTY thick oil.

Very impressive!!!! My truck has seen -10 but I landed in Fairbanks, AK and saw -56 degrees a few years ago. It is unbelievable how cold that is.

Did you have your seat Warmers on?

Wow, that is dangerously cold! The lowest temp my truck has been exposed to this season is around 2 F. It starts right up but you can feel everything is slightly reduced until it warms up. Times like these, my temps not yours, when the auxiliary heater is appreciated!

I saw that thermometer, then saw the capitol F C at the bottom and laughed right out loud.

I KNOW what that F C stands for and at those temps it ain't Fahrenheit and Celsius!

Don't know why you would say that.
Those ARE fahrenheit and Celsius

-40 is -40 in both temps.

I have seen -53 here in Northern Canada. Not with this truck though.....-38c (-30f) is the coldest so far.

All we need to know is where and when that photo was taken and that's confirmation enough for me. Personally, I'd love to see someone go outside and take a video of throwing a cup of coffee into the air and watching it instantly freeze. I'm waiting for the Bear to come out of hibernation and provide a little bit more info.

I was thinking about pissing but coffee works.....

I also would like to know where and when that was. Heck, I can't imagine what tires were like, flat spotted and the like?
