Nothing technicle about this, -15 sitting cold. Went skiing for a couple of days, came back and the engine seemed like there was concrete in it! After about 45 min bake (and a little help from some starting fluid, which we found on a skidder later on) she started in 3 quick cranks.
My battery (red top Optima) is new and the glow plugs checked out, so I'm asuming that my dilema was't anything new? Though I'm currently installing a second battery (isolated) with a 12v 250 watt oil pan heater, that I want to have on a timer. For such instances that I can program it to come on 4 hours before, and not have to risk burning down my truck.
