Just popped up I'm my deal here. No one says anything about how bad ass the batteries are. I'm in TEXAS and we go from 105 to 25. My 98' 12V always starts. It's almost the difference between a carburetor and fuel injection when talking about mechanical injection vs electronic. My tuck will always start (maybe hard to get going but still goes). Electronic starts easier if everything is perfect no matter the temps (1 thing wrong and your dead in the water). I.E. not enough voltage to run the ECM and the starter. Fun videos!

[@Bloodbain88]

This is the first winter I've had a 1997 12 valve in my Chevy truck. It doesn't have a grid heater because the engine was in an industrial application. The pump is tuned for 230HP and it's making 600ft lbs of torque. It just hit -15° here and I expected a really hard start. But it started instantly like a gas engine. I've never had to give it any throttle. Maybe I'm just lucky. Although I know the Cummins that are making BIG power can be hard to start.

I think you could be onto something there. If the wheel is straight there is less load on the power steering pump therefore less load on the engine. While also if you make sure all lights are off then less load on alternator/ battery while you need every bit of juice to crank it over in the cold.
