I'm kinda curious on how low it can go before my truck won't start. So far it's been starting okay, glow plugs twice, press the clutch pedal down,wait till it wants to catch, then pull the timing advance, and give it a little throttle. So far it's started as low as -27oC [no wind chill]. No block heater [next year] but i use Total 5-30 synthetic. Call me sick but i find it fun when it's really cold.
-39 is pretty cold, it was -36 at 6:30 this morning at my house ( 1/2 hour north of ottawa ) environment canada is calling for -40 tonight :shock:
does anyone else use the radiator block method?If i sit at a light when its 0 degrees the engine cools way down even after a good romp
