    I think it was -23F degrees. But not long after I got it, it was parked at the airport for 2 weeks. It got down into the -20's and never over 10F for the entire two weeks. When I got in it to start it up it was about 6 or 8 degrees. I was worried since it had been sitting in the cold for so long. No problems. It started right up!

    Can we crank these trucks with remote start while they are still plugged in to the block heater? Would that hurt anything?

    Less than 4 months old, 1600 miles. Started with the Viper remote starter this morning while standing next to it so I could listen to it and stop it if any problems.

    minus24_zps27c380fc_e210f79fe4b88dfe575c3591932609336c0f1bc6.jpg

    Started OK with the remote. However 1) slowly, a battery upgrade wouldn't hurt. 2) Really wish I had switched to synthetic already it really sounded bad for the first minute or so. 3) I had to remind myself why the hell I moved to Mn.....

    Truck sat at work for 12 hours today with air temp of 1' F with -15' F windchill. Coldest I've started it at, for sure. No issues other than then clutch pedal returning a little slower until I drove it for a minute or so.
