Figured I'd throw up a quick vid while we're having this unusually cold weather to show how well ZMBYKLR starts in the cold. Sat overnight, temps this morning are low 20's, was colder last night.

That's not plugged in or anything as you can tell by the temp readings on the CTS. I run Rev-X at every oil change and put Power Service in every tank of fuel.

Now on the other end of the spectrum is the Fat-Butt Truck, 2005 F350 dually. I'm gonna go take a vid of it starting in a bit, if it'll start. LOL

The Klr is a BA azz truck but as for the cold starts
meh
24 is like spring time temps up here. Im really happy the way the leakers cold start when running right.
My junk has started right up down to -15 and sitting for 10-12 hours. But my old clunker 7.3 would take 45 mins of glow plug cycling and cranking before it would fire in any temps below 20. Lofl. It had some problems

Mine will start like that if I cycle the key three times. If not it starts like poop. I have new glow plugs and a new gpcm that I need to install just haven't had the time.
