RAM cold start -17F

Update 5/11/2020: Truck wasn't starting back in Jan/2019 due to bad diesel from a station in Alexandria MN that's now out of business. As of now truck has 299,500 miles and it running great. Not putting on as many miles recently as I've been remodeling our cabin instead of driving around buying campers/tractors/etc. Will post update video in a few days. Oh, subscribe now please.

fter being out for one night, not plugged in, with exhaust brake turned on to "auto"mode.

High idle kicks in right away as does the exhaust brake to get things warmed up quicker.

Routine for RAM in cold start = start, drive... once coolant temp hits 130F you'll see the windows defrost. Once you hit 170F or so you'll have a comfortable cabin temp.

Too many videos on cold start for RAM Cummins 6.7. They just start. I've started my truck at -42F by Finland, MN with no issues.

This is actual air temp not windchill which doesn't apply to trucks.
