2006 duramax cold start at -17 degress at noon, got down to -28 below that night, not plugged in did not run for over 18 hours before started, also video doesnt show it gelled up about 5-10min running didnt have the correct winter blend for that cold of temps but very impressed with starting in that cold of weather.

At that temp I let run at least 10 min before driving it it has a fast warm up cycle so it warms up quickly

My old 04 6.0L Powerstroke (VT365) started like that when it was 40 degrees outside! Glad I own a Duramax now!

Are you running synthetic 5W 40 in yours? It helped mine start quite easier when I switched over.

Always add an antigel additive in the thoses cold, cold months.

Dont rely on the stations. If you use the right additive your not going to hurt it by adding a additive. Youd be helping it out.

how long do you let it run before you drive it?
