6.2 diesel cold start -21°C (-6°F)

I had a 1990 model 6.2 when I lived in Alaska, I started it once at -47 F. I won't mention wrapping the engine with an electric blanket, having a percolator style block heater, battery blankets and oh, yeah, a blower heater blowing up under it. Drove it out of the mountains that day, the engine never warmed up until we came down to lower elevations even though the whole from of the truck was covered. It is only a fond memory because it was 30 years ago.
