Cold temperature issues

mpowerstroketwins08 · Feb 4, 2017

I got a 17 f250. The weather has been cold this past week and I've been noticing some strange issues with the truck. Two days ago the truck was parked outside at - 25 and some grey exhaust plus was really irritating to breathe. And yesterday there was a Smokey smell in the cab like a fire

Fuel is probably gelling at that temperature. Make sure you put something in your fuel like diesel service to prevent that

Truck was regenning at idle, mine does it regularly, as I sit and idle most of the day on job sites when its cold.

I was thinking it would be a regen cycle. I was just unsure. thanks

Regen at 25 below is a mess... it's more of a slobber than a regen.

On that note I have seen more 17's with very dirty exhaust (stock truck) than I have any other. Reminds me of the first 6.4's.
