    Now -31C is the coldest for me. No issues. I run full synthetic and run a 725(from what I remember) CCA battery.

    -30 a few weeks back for about a week straight, up here it's the winds that get ya. Growing up in the SE my whole life and never thought 50's would be shorts and t shirt weather... a lot of huge diesels stayed in the driveways on base.

    I usually have to skip the questions like this, living in GA. But I reckon the 12 F we had yesterday almost qualifies for the poll.

    I could feel the difference in the starter however. Turning a little slower and longer than normal.

    A V-6 only burns .3 to .5 gallons per hour when at idle.

    10 minutes of warm-up will unlikely put you in financial distress.
