    do your trucks sound like they're going to explode when you fire them up in this cold? mine starts and runs fine but it sounds like a damn lawn mower

    Mine has been a little slower to start the last couple days and my clutch pedal feels like it has been frozen but i let it warm up for a few and take it easy until she is warmed up.

    I experienced the same thing with my clutch pedal over Xmas holidays when we were in Wisconsin. Started my truck one morning when it was -10 F. Clutch felt slow and stiff. I let the truck warm up for several minutes with the heat on. When I got in to leave the pedal felt much better.

    I'm usually not concerned about letting my truck warm up before I drive it but I'd rather that clutch pedal be nice and smooth when I get out there on the road.
