lol, great a little bit of fame!? I went to Canada to hunt Moose with my buddy Marc and his Father. Shootin with the ole smoke poles. NE who, Ferd is supposedly making a new engine.....ohh boy, another problem for ford to deal with....

In addition to the 97 12 valve, I also own a 1986 Ford F350 with a 6.9.
It has been cold here for the past week, single digits, wind chills about -10.
The Dodge fires right up every time.
The Ford is a bit of a handful to get going. Dont get me wrong it will run, but not as easy as the Dodge.
Neither truck gets plugged in.

Only when i know its gonna be like -20 out will i plug either truck in. the ferd usually takes 3 turns of the key (Glow Plugs) and a little fuel pedal. My truck i turn the key, let the wait start light to go out, and crank it right started.

All I can say is that both of my trucks will fire up at -15 without being plugged in; no pedal, no extra glow plug/grid heater cycles.

 

all ive got to say to that is.....GOOD FOR YOU!!!! Most trucks dont like to start in these temps of late.....I've only plugged my truck in twice.....once when it was like -40 with windchill, and once when it was -32.....I hate this weather....i wanna go back home!!! Yes, we do have some great trucks and theres not a day that goes by im not thankful for them!lol
