ok all, i will be the guinea pig. tonite is supposed to be the coldest night of the year since sometime in 2011. somewhere at or near 0* F. it started the other day with no troubles at 9* F, so i dont see any difference for tomorrow. and yes, it sits out all night as the garage has the wifes car and my old 53 ford. i did double up on the dose of fuel treatment i will admit. i have been using power service in the white bottle, but howes was on sale at farm and home so i got that instead to try. i think im going back to power service. seems to have more pep when i use that, and mileage seems to be better.
diesels seem to take forever to warm, whether they have a weather front on them or not. our 6.0 ford at work hates the cold weather, and when i used to drive it home, i would cycle the key 3 times before starting. stated pretty quickly after that, plus it was a whole lot queter too after it started.
there is almost as much money tied up in that old ford as a used diesel pickup, so it sits inside.
Was plugged in all night as usual, and this morning I actually went out to the truck to start it, just to see if the glow plugs would come on. No glow plug indication, started right up and purred like a kitten at normal idle. It was 3* this morning.
