Dang, how is your truck so clean...

Seriously, my truck starts noticeably better with Smarty, for whatever reason?

JP, thats exactly how mine starts even at 9*. I was up in the Tahoe area this past week and routinely started below 20* with no grid heaters or plug in.

Would turn over normal, fire up normal, just a little grumpy for 2-3sec then smoothed out just like yours.

Also being below 15* it high idles instantly...that helps alot.

How was the turbo at 7000ft???

Turbo is awesome. I still think you should get one.

Mine does the same thing, sometimes worse. Usually just hit the high idle and it smooths right out. I try and keep it plugged in but not because of hard starting but I like heat in 2 min instead of 10.
