Nice to see a member on here who lives close by. I'm in Avon, about 5 miles from you.

I've had no problems starting my truck at all this past week. Running the synthetic really helps, and a good pair of batteries.

Did you get your 6.7 from Albany Chrysler?

Rumor has it that TheWeatherChannels's Jim Cantore is to be laid off due to the EPA and affiliats not wanting to invest in speakers during the cold months. This latest cold snap really through them off. They will probably put the blame on Frosty the snowman for his nose made of carrots thats rotting, putting off harmful gasses, not to mention those two eyes made out of Coal.

Anywhay, You guys can have your -48 "edit" and keep it to yourselves. I dont want to be able to say my truck started at -48.
It was -11 (cold enough) this morning here, my 6.7 fired up nice aswell. Not even a spit or sputter. Not plugged in. Come to think about it, Non of my past Dodge cumminseseses from 93 up ever failed to start in any weather, as long as the fuel was treated. I cant say that for the truck up the street though. All I heard was, dadododo dadododo dadododo dadododo dadododo dadododo dadododo dadododo dadododo, Nothin. I did remind him that the blue oval is supposed to be facing west not east when the hood is up or he wont get a signal.
