NeBoFoRiOn 90k for a crew cab cummins? Not even a megacab laramie longhorn which is the most expensive version of this truck would cost that much in US currency anyway, only looking at around 70k for that.
Mickxal - Its the new America pastime/hobby, spewing fabricated hate over inconsequential and silly differences. Mild jabbing might be fun (imho like this vid), but many over the top fan boys really try to make a life out of serious hatred of other people's choices. Waste of time.
Mickxal Not with the 6.4 and 6.0 they have far too common issues that aren't owner fault. You shouldn't have to dealer proof an expensive diesel truck for it to run right. How ever the new 6.7s are on par power/reliability wise with cummins and duramax.
I would have plugged it in for a few hours first, your oil circulation for the first few mins is complete garbage because its probably thicker than cold molasses.
Not really. They are concerned about the chalk from them causing breathing problems these days. At the least white boards are used but most schools these days have smart boards which the teacher just plugs their laptop into.
Norwegian schools where ages 6 to 16 go use chalkboards I believe, as well as touch screen projector thingies hooked up to a computer. High schools though use whiteboards and very often the touchscreen thing. I think it depends on the school.
I run a welding truck in alberta, and all of the company trucks are dodges. I have repeatedly cold started my truck everyday in -50 C. These Cummins are just pure beast mode all the time. We had a bad cold snap this past winter where it dipped it -55C plus a windchill bringing it down to a frosty -67C in camp. We literally fueled the truck at the end of the 12 hour work day, parked it in camp, and left it running all night, because there was no access to the parking rail. Came out at 545am the next morning and she was still running all nice and toasty inside coolant at operating temp. Drove to the gas station and filled her up cuz it burned 3/4 tank just idling. Did this for 4 days in a row. As in the truck did not shut off for 4 wholedays. Got home from that rotation and promt;y traded in my 2012 Hemi 1500 for a Ram 3500 Laramie. Never been happier with a vehicle.
That's not how windchill works. An inanimate object is not going to notice even a 100 degree windchill factor, go learn how windchill works. Also, PLUG IN YOUR FUCKING TRUCKS! What the fuck is wrong with you people? Frozen oil doesn't lubricate shit, your just beating the hell out of the engine and transmission because you're too stupid and lazy to pre-heat the things.
Brad Gefroh diesel oil is thicker than gasoline engines. My 5.0 f150 starts fine in -35 with synthetic oil. And we hit -50 with the wind every winter here in the prairies. -50c winters and can get to over 40c in the summers.
Wow, I'm a bit of a chevy fan, but god damn I did not expect that to start on the first try! I just watched a video of a silverado in -20 and the dude was cranking it for like 2 mins before it would fire. Those cummins are such beasts its is undeniable. Good job Ram
Max Power, I don't think you can talk much about transmission when GM uses Allison. Granted i am a lover of Cummins over the others but the Allison wins in the trans department.
That's nice. I live in Poland, and sometimes we have simmilar winters, so I have fitted DEFA WarmUp system into my deasel BMW. It's warming up engine oil, interior of the car by additional heater and it's charging the battery as well :)
When the weather gets super cold here in WIsconsin, like 45 below and colder... only Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru will start ( without being plugged in). Seen this for over and over again working in the tow business for over 45 years..
Hehe, yeah. My 97 LandCruiser just has an "Idle Up" button under the ignition. It will cough a bit, but after the engine is warmed up, its no problem. (Iceland here) Starts fine during and after a snowstorm, at -15 degrees celsius. Btw, old Land Rover Defenders will do fine too.
I personally am a ford guy as far as pickups cummins when its comes to anything with more than 12L lol but to each there own all makes have there issues most wouldn't touch a 6.0 powerstroke I own an 03 1 hpop so far and ive seen one that is in touched accept injectors at 460k
47re? All Cummins come with the 68RFE now or your can upgrade to the Aisin on the 3500 models. RAM>Ford all day long. Not to mention that Ford interior is Toyota-level trash.
chris thompson, Dodge is a POS period! The Ram line would have died in the late 80's if it wern't for cummins. Look around and see what old trucks from the 70's and up are still on the road i bet you will notice alot of blue ovals...just saying. Ford had its bad years just like all of them have but over all there are still lots of them on the road and you cant argue that fact.
B______ F________ I have to disagree. diesels hate cold weather. they are compression ignition and do not have spark plugs like a gas engine does, which means a cold engine will barely produce enough heat to ignite diesel fuel, which also has a much higher flash point than gas too. plus they are higher compression requiring more juice from the starter to overcome the force. and cold weather eats batteries especially at -35. don't even get me started on diesel fuel gelling.
B______ F________ In Finland we have winter diesel that have geling point -38 celsius ~-36F so most use densin motored cars. They are better in winter. Trucks are on diesel but they have gas heaters to overcome the cold issue.
I attended University of Alaska Fairbanks from Fall '98 to Spring '05. Coldest I saw it was -47* and that wasn't the coldest. No-one shuts off their cars when shopping or at the theater or anything unless there are plug-ins available. My '01 Dodge 2500 4x4 V-10 I bought from a woman in the Air Force when she transferred back the America, she had installed a recirculating heater, engine and transmission oil pan heaters, a strip heater on the power steering fluid reservoir, battery blanket and I installed a small trickle charger for my battery. The lights practically dimmed when I plugged it in, but my baby always started for me. :)
@@christopherlamberson1242 yeah I was just going to say that. People better not be touching my stuff without asking. Maybe I have an electrical short I need to get repaired and that is why it is unplugged.
Running a 0W-40 full synthetic is must in this weather. Blows my mind people still try to use 15W-40 up in those climates. I recommend Shell Rotella 0W-40 Full Synthetic in the blue bottle
Because the oil is too thick and the crankshaft drags through it. This puts more load on the starter and takes more current to get the desired cranking RPM as well. Plus when the truck starts, it takes awhile to get oil throughout the motor.
giberish9 I still say if you live in Alaska, Canada or a any of the northern states you should be running a 5W-40 or 0W-40 full synthetic (especially for newer turbo diesels 5 years and younger). The synthetic isn't that much more and it is much easier on the oil pump in cold weather and is quicker to reach top end of the motor in very low temps. Also if you're away from electricity sources you can't always plug in your diesel in which case a 0W-40 synthetic is gonna make it much easier to crank a cold diesel motor.
Jacob Gervy Sorry to hear :( Least you're honest.... I know prices of goods gotta be outrageous too... I used to have a Duramax 3500 crew and it was also a beast and VG TRK. went thru -22F in PA with it b4, and at about -10-12F or so, the condensation/crystals out the exh pipe is perpetual it's so cold!!! wouldn't stop smoking
My dad has a Ford and the one thing I love about it is that you can put on defrost and have the air blowing at you at the same time! Most cars/trucks don’t have that
I hate it when I see videos like this and all I see in the comments are arguments about which of the 3 brands of diesel trucks is the best. Why can't we all be like the fans of older diesels who just have respect for all of them?
agreed when you get into diesels you enter a whole new category they are all the same. oh and a cummins is no dodge if the motor was dodge it wouldn't have made it off the assembly line
I don’t know why but every time I see one of those cold start videos I’ve seen millions of times of a diesel engine start up in cold weather I get all excited and hyped up and it’s not even my truck 😂
I live in Minnesota, coldest it's ever gotten here was -40 and that's since iv been born, iv heard stories in the past that it's gotten down to -60 at Times...we experience -20 every winter and it stays around there...-10 - -20 is about where it is during our winters, the cummins does great for me in the winter
I had a Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins a few years back that I bought new and always had serviced on schedule. When I bought the truck, I was assured that "the engine will go 300,000 miles" without a problem. Which it probably would have done, if the rest of the truck didn't start falling apart, including the dash which was cheap, rigid plastic that broke away in huge chunks. When I traded it (around 80,000 miles), the transmission was having issues, and being a 4x4 was going to cost thousands of dollars to repair. I'm sure they have improved their quality since then, but man, I loved that truck. I would still have it today if everything else on it was built as well as that engine.
Global Traveler nope...they still fall apart around the motor. Hell, the next door neighbor has a 2500 that's 18 months old and he's starting to get rust blisters on the ds fender already. Dash & center console have made noise since day 1.
Martina Toivenun I'm not from america but the UK is third world compared to most of america. Did you know that every single state in the United States is richer than the UK as a whole, in terms of disposable income and purchasing power.
At least you mentioned you forgot to plug in the block heater. The last 5 videos I watched from people seem to be clueless as to why there's aren't starting
Not good for it!!! nice thing about a Cummins if they will turn over they will start in the Cold, as long as your pre heater is working and the engine still has reasonable compression. I personally plug any diesel engine in under -5 C if I need to start it. A little bit of power is much cheaper than an engine.
The plug is for the block heater, it warms the coolant in the side of the block. I double down in those temps with a magnetic oil on heater on a separate circuit, starts like + temps in -35 or colder. Nice truck brother!
@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot the oil will get just a smidge warmer, but not really above -30celsius if its -37 outside, but the coolant is everywhere from 50celsius to 90clesius so the oil warms up fast
I had a Ford Ranger and in February of 1994 in St Paul Minnesota it was 35 below exactly. The guy where I was staying couldn't get his car started. So I started my Ford Ranger early in the morning at -35 below. Started on first attempt. Long time ago but I still remember it. So cold that it hurt to breathe.
my 2006 6.0 sat for a day and a half the other day not plugged in, it started as easy as this cummins at -36C in Manitoba, two 1000 CCA batteries, 58V FICM and synthetic oil, clean fuel filters, take care of a few things and you would be surprised how easy winter can be. Last winter we seen many days of -50 Celsius
Ahh, take me back to the 90’s. The days when I diesel work truck woke up half the block and blue collar workers didn’t need touch screens and def fluid. It’s a good looker for sure.
your neighbor could be pissed about you calling his ford a POS, but it's a 6.0 ford.. it IS a POS, at least if it was a 7.3 he would have some defending it..lol
Yeah, I did this 6.0 before it had a problem. The peace of mind is nice and everything is much easier to work on before it breaks. Although if you can afford the sudden down time brought upon by a head gasket failure it makes a lot of sense to fix it after it breaks. You can usually limp your truck home with a head gasket failure. So not like you'll be sitting on the side of the road. It really comes down to a judgment call.
I used to run both a block heater and one of the magnetic stick on heaters. The magnetic heater I stuck on the oil pan and was on a timer to turn on two hrs prior to leaving for work. Can of a pain to crawl under it but the thing started so easy with the warm oil. The entire pan was warm to touch. With just running the block heater the bottom of the pan was still cold. Since heat rises the block heater just doesn't get down deep in the very bottom of the pan and warm the oil. Running the magnetic heater in combo took care of that and since in sticks to the very bottom of the pan the heat went right where is was suppose too.
I live north of the province of Québec, Canada. Almost every morning during winter the temperature is around minus 30 Celsius. Last week of Junuary and 2 first week of Febuary, at 06h00Am the temperature turn around -minus 40C (-40F same) everyday. Last weekend, -43C at 06h00am and -25C at noon. And at 18h00 (06h00pm) -35C. If you want to save your p-up truck engin, you have to plugged it... Have nice day.
+paranoy69 ... I have a 2003, Dodge Ram 3500, dually, 5.9L diesel, 4x4 , 286750Km. Always running with synthetic oil, 0W40., two 1000Amps battery, Never had problem with my engin with winter fuel. Changing oil every 5000Km. If you take care of your engin , it is not supposed to let you felt down... Best regards.
@@markambrosio9224 I am guessing you tried to type "useless." If that is the case. Not true. It is a very capable engine with loads of power. Design flaws from the factory, yes. I think every manufacturer gets a mulligan now and then. I towed a 12k trailer from Colorado to Alaska in the middle of November with my 6.0. Had 175k miles on it. Got to Alaska and have been driving it doe 2 more years. Not one repair now over 200k miles. Guess 6.0's suck.
Exactly. Since Fiat merged with Chrysler, Rams have been lower in quality. They’ve been proven to have major problems even before 100k Miles. F-150s can go well over 300k miles. But that’s just what I’ve learned...
dodge and hemi are the only redeeming parts of dodge. triton and powerstroke are the bad parts of ford. (exceptions of course for some engines but its mostly true)
Cummins engines are the best, but since the merger with Fiat, I have heard of many problems with new Rams, no question there. Fords are now more reliable
@@AustinC2838 that’s a complete lie buddy. Everybody uses the “fiat” bullshit. DODGE and RAM are two separate companies they have been for over a decade now. The company that merged with fiat was DODGE. The “fiat” inspired products are your minivans, chargers, challengers, Jeep’s, etc. RAMS are Mopar products and a separate company from dodge and RAM has zero links to fiat. Do your research before making yourself look like an idiot acting like you know what you’re talking about.
Here in Vermont when it gets cold like this in December the old diesels in the parking lots wind for awhile nice to se for you it turns over like a puppy
I'm just picking on you Cummins fans, they're good engines. It's just refreshing to not get a reply calling me a scum bag and telling me that Duramax is made in Japan lol. Cummins and Duramax are both proudly made in the USA. :-)
TX Duramax overall diesel ratings 1.cummins just barely not coming to first duramax 3. powerstroke best selling powerstroke people don't realize how unreliable they 2. how much it takes to repair them 3. how hard it is to turn them over in the cold
+Re If it isn't carb'd it should start. Batteries are cheap to replace and going into winter with a dying battery is just silly. Old cars will start just fine if you know how to do basic maintenance
Josephuskikit Fred Not with that attitude. Get a little torch rocking under the oil pan and you're set. Possibly. I've also used the blowdryer/heat gun in intake trick
For a $60,000 truck, it better start no matter what.

+marshall mcdowell Lol. It was 6 degrees during sowpocalypse. What are you talking about?
+marshall mcdowell lol my record is -7,6C . and still alive in Brazil
I live in Minnesota, coldest it's ever gotten here was -40 and that's since iv been born, iv heard stories in the past that it's gotten down to -60 at Times...we experience -20 every winter and it stays around there...-10 - -20 is about where it is during our winters, the cummins does great for me in the winter
T Parrish it gets to -35 to -37ish and sometimes but not often -40 here in alberta
I had a Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins a few years back that I bought new and always had serviced on schedule. When I bought the truck, I was assured that "the engine will go 300,000 miles" without a problem. Which it probably would have done, if the rest of the truck didn't start falling apart, including the dash which was cheap, rigid plastic that broke away in huge chunks.
When I traded it (around 80,000 miles), the transmission was having issues, and being a 4x4 was going to cost thousands of dollars to repair. I'm sure they have improved their quality since then, but man, I loved that truck. I would still have it today if everything else on it was built as well as that engine.
Global Traveler nope...they still fall apart around the motor. Hell, the next door neighbor has a 2500 that's 18 months old and he's starting to get rust blisters on the ds fender already. Dash & center console have made noise since day 1.
I start my Opel every winter day at -45 Celsius. I live in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿.
I’m in AZ a cold start is 52 degrees. 315K on my 7.3 new heads. Starts every time like a puppy jumps in your arms.
I don't know why this video keeps popping up on my recommendations or why I watch to every time it does, but it is a fun short video to watch
If we had that temp in the UK life would cease.
no one would move.
Great truck and even better housing.
Martina Toivenun I'm not from america but the UK is third world compared to most of america. Did you know that every single state in the United States is richer than the UK as a whole, in terms of disposable income and purchasing power.
Martina Toivenun Even better housing? Those small-ass houses?
I would help you Martina.
Beautiful looking Dodge truck man, the paint, fender flares and wheels look very slick, nicely done. Cummins engines are so impressive....
Erated78 technically not a dodge truck anymore man
Watching this it's 100.4F today where I am.
TWO REASONS YOUR TRUCK STARTED 1: BECAUSE ITS A RAM 2: YOU GOT THOSE TEXAS LICENSE PLATES!!! HELL YEA
At least you mentioned you forgot to plug in the block heater. The last 5 videos I watched from people seem to be clueless as to why there's aren't starting
Not good for it!!! nice thing about a Cummins if they will turn over they will start in the Cold, as long as your pre heater is working and the engine still has reasonable compression. I personally plug any diesel engine in under -5 C if I need to start it. A little bit of power is much cheaper than an engine.
The plug is for the block heater, it warms the coolant in the side of the block. I double down in those temps with a magnetic oil on heater on a separate circuit, starts like + temps in -35 or colder. Nice truck brother!
Doesn't it also warm up the oil in the pan?
@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot the oil will get just a smidge warmer, but not really above -30celsius if its -37 outside, but the coolant is everywhere from 50celsius to 90clesius so the oil warms up fast
Why didn't your neighbor just plug it in?
I had a Ford Ranger and in February of 1994 in St Paul Minnesota it was 35 below exactly. The guy where I was staying couldn't get his car started. So I started my Ford Ranger early in the morning at -35 below. Started on first attempt. Long time ago but I still remember it. So cold that it hurt to breathe.
You know it’s cold when the snow sounds like that and the door hinges sound like that lol
Ford stands for.. Found on road dead or Fucker only runs downhill
Fix Or Repair Daily while you're at it! Lol
***** I have a Ford ranger and it runs just fine.
Never heard of Fucker Only runs downhill lol
250k miles on our ford expedition ;)
Have had one for ten years and never had to fix anything on it.
I saw a texas registration sticker and was confused.
“Good morning folks”
* 12:30 PM *
This is my neighbor and his shifty ford.....😂😂 love it. Impressive cold start.
I don’t get how y’all can live in those temps! I cry about looking for Bigfoot in the 20’s here in Cali. Sweet truck!😏😎
The coldest over ever felt was -12 and that was after a wind chill and I can barely imagine how cold it felt after that. Stay warm out there my dude
thats awesome , very nice looking truck too by the way
really hope you have thin oil in there before damage is done to top of engine with it not able to circulate and same for transmission.
Weeellllllllll
my 2006 6.0 sat for a day and a half the other day not plugged in, it started as easy as this cummins at -36C in Manitoba, two 1000 CCA batteries, 58V FICM and synthetic oil, clean fuel filters, take care of a few things and you would be surprised how easy winter can be. Last winter we seen many days of -50 Celsius
I️ love how the truck automatically does its thing and makes the RPM’s go up. RAM TOUGH
my neighbour with his shity ford lawl
In Winnipeg it's been down to -50 without windchill
What size rims and tires are those? And did u lift the truck at all? It looks awesome 👍
+3RGL Nice Truck!
3RGL Dodge Ram diesel, nice choice although I would gotten a Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins mega cab dually
Katara standard bed, not the super shorty
You know it's cold when you can hear his footsteps. Speaking from experience
Ahh, take me back to the 90’s. The days when I diesel work truck woke up half the block and blue collar workers didn’t need touch screens and def fluid. It’s a good looker for sure.
It's a Ram, of course it's going to start...
Beautiful truck by the way!
Texas plates in Alaska...Nice.
And it's a thrill to see somebody from New Orleans, Texas.
It’s Arkansas not Alaska
He's on Eielson AFB
@@coleriedel751 Looks like Ft. Wainwright to me
your neighbor could be pissed about you calling his ford a POS, but it's a 6.0 ford.. it IS a POS, at least if it was a 7.3 he would have some defending it..lol
Everyone I know that owns a 6.0 talks shit about it. They know they suck. Now the 7.3 ill argue is a good engine.
Some people get lucky. I just got done bulletproofing a 6.0 and its an amazing motor. I just get uncomfortable not knowing when it will break.
ya thats true, ive been thinking of bulletproofing mine before it has any issues
Yeah, I did this 6.0 before it had a problem. The peace of mind is nice and everything is much easier to work on before it breaks. Although if you can afford the sudden down time brought upon by a head gasket failure it makes a lot of sense to fix it after it breaks. You can usually limp your truck home with a head gasket failure. So not like you'll be sitting on the side of the road. It really comes down to a judgment call.
Preston Herfel I have an old 2004 6.0 F250 with 245,000 miles, mostly pulling miles. Never had a minutes worth of trouble out of it.
Had a few -35 F days here in northern VT two winters ago. Even the gas engines were struggling then
just the sound of him crunching throw the snow sounds cold.....🥶🥶🥶🥶
I keep getting cold start recommendations, why do keep watching them. Lol 🤔
The ram is a real expensive engine crate buddy😁
thats a cummins for ya.
I used to run both a block heater and one of the magnetic stick on heaters. The magnetic heater I stuck on the oil pan and was on a timer to turn on two hrs prior to leaving for work. Can of a pain to crawl under it but the thing started so easy with the warm oil. The entire pan was warm to touch. With just running the block heater the bottom of the pan was still cold. Since heat rises the block heater just doesn't get down deep in the very bottom of the pan and warm the oil. Running the magnetic heater in combo took care of that and since in sticks to the very bottom of the pan the heat went right where is was suppose too.
I live north of the province of Québec, Canada. Almost every morning during winter the temperature is around minus 30 Celsius. Last week of Junuary and 2 first week of Febuary, at 06h00Am the temperature turn around -minus 40C (-40F same) everyday.
Last weekend, -43C at 06h00am and -25C at noon. And at 18h00 (06h00pm) -35C. If you want to save your p-up truck engin, you have to plugged it... Have nice day.
+paranoy69 ... I have a 2003, Dodge Ram 3500, dually, 5.9L diesel, 4x4 , 286750Km. Always running with synthetic oil, 0W40., two 1000Amps battery, Never had problem with my engin with winter fuel. Changing oil every 5000Km. If you take care of your engin , it is not supposed to let you felt down... Best regards.
shit don't matter if body is Ford,dodge,Chevy....we have Ford f750 that has Cummings red top in it
Josh Hernandez wtf is a cummings
Ok what is a Texas truck doing in Alaska?
Well that makes sense. Saw a truck from Alaska down in San Antonio once.
Saw a truck in Pensacolla, FL from Alaska... DAMN.
3RGL may i ask why you have to plug it in
It keeps the engine warm enough to where it will start easier *****
Corley Beck oh right i thought it gets cold here in england lol but i might try that
That is an absolutely gorgeous truck. How do you forget to plug it in?
That starter earned a vacation somewhere tropical. Lol.
Always find it funny when people think oh I have 4x4, so mud tires are good in the snow lol
You should have kept filming so we could have seen the 6.0 Powerstroke start as well...... tsk tsk tsk.
DanteGTZ you wouldn't hear that dodge over the sound of that 6.0 turbo on a cold start lol especially if it's straight piped
@@lazykbarranchoutdoors4866 lol so true. My neighbors hate my jet engine of a turbo on cold mornings.
@@ReMz10184 same
6.0 haha most unless junk ford ever produced
@@markambrosio9224 I am guessing you tried to type "useless."
If that is the case. Not true. It is a very capable engine with loads of power. Design flaws from the factory, yes. I think every manufacturer gets a mulligan now and then.
I towed a 12k trailer from Colorado to Alaska in the middle of November with my 6.0. Had 175k miles on it. Got to Alaska and have been driving it doe 2 more years. Not one repair now over 200k miles. Guess 6.0's suck.
I love how he says “shitty Ford” 😂😂 I’m not a ford guy but dodges are WAYYYY worse than fords. I’d buy a ford before a dodge
Exactly. Since Fiat merged with Chrysler, Rams have been lower in quality. They’ve been proven to have major problems even before 100k Miles. F-150s can go well over 300k miles. But that’s just what I’ve learned...
dodge and hemi are the only redeeming parts of dodge. triton and powerstroke are the bad parts of ford. (exceptions of course for some engines but its mostly true)
I drive a 1990 Ford in Fairbanks my always starts-35.
Cummins engines are the best, but since the merger with Fiat, I have heard of many problems with new Rams, no question there. Fords are now more reliable
@@AustinC2838 that’s a complete lie buddy. Everybody uses the “fiat” bullshit. DODGE and RAM are two separate companies they have been for over a decade now. The company that merged with fiat was DODGE. The “fiat” inspired products are your minivans, chargers, challengers, Jeep’s, etc. RAMS are Mopar products and a separate company from dodge and RAM has zero links to fiat. Do your research before making yourself look like an idiot acting like you know what you’re talking about.
go back inside for a cuppa tea...
More importantly, your neighbor noticed it, took the time to text you about it, and didn't just plug it in? lol what a guy!
Here in Vermont when it gets cold like this in December the old diesels in the parking lots wind for awhile nice to se for you it turns over like a puppy
Nice when the 'System is cold'-alert comes it sounds like a Diesel locomotive, is that the turbo?
3RGL wow great! Thanks for commenting back. Really awesome truck I have to say.
coldest I've felt was 29 F (don't laugh I'm Floridian)
+MGD Lucky lol coldest i've felt is about -39f
well I haven't seen snow yet. I live in southern Arizona. one time it got like 27 degrees. that was freezing balls for me
Man you guys are lucky it got down to -18 in pa
_ 60 f. Minnesota
Another reason Cummins > Everything
But still, Everything > Fiat (Chrysler) LOL
TX Duramax
And Cummins =/= Chrysler
I'm just picking on you Cummins fans, they're good engines. It's just refreshing to not get a reply calling me a scum bag and telling me that Duramax is made in Japan lol. Cummins and Duramax are both proudly made in the USA. :-)
TX Duramax And thats why they work.
TX Duramax overall diesel ratings 1.cummins just barely not coming to first duramax 3. powerstroke best selling powerstroke people don't realize how unreliable they 2. how much it takes to repair them 3. how hard it is to turn them over in the cold
You can tell it's cold by how that snow is crunching.
Dude right before it started you could here how cold it was by the snow crunching when the neighbor was walking.
Is anybody surprised that a pretty new car can startup in the cold? It's a struggle if you've got an old car with worn battery
+Re If it isn't carb'd it should start. Batteries are cheap to replace and going into winter with a dying battery is just silly. Old cars will start just fine if you know how to do basic maintenance
+Re its a diesel some old diesel engines wont start at 30 let alone -35
Josephuskikit Fred Not with that attitude. Get a little torch rocking under the oil pan and you're set. Possibly.
I've also used the blowdryer/heat gun in intake trick
Fort wainwright is awesome
Dodge vs Ford, Ford vs Doge...Blah, Blah, Blah!! Same shit, different day.
Surprised you didn't have a big pair of orange bull balls hanging from the hitch.
nwscrew63 technically it's ram vs ford. Dodge doesn't make trucks anymore
We had -57 C in Saskatchewan that year.... now THAT was cold. Good thing I plugged my diesel in lol
Truck said "fuck it's cold! Let me go back to bed! Agh!".
Cummins are great, too bad they've got those ball-bag trucks wrapped around them.
-35F. Must be in Minnesota
He clearly wrote in the title it's Fairbanks.
LegendMeadow I know that I was saying Minnesota is just as cold
+Future Gohan amen Lord
+Future Gohan lets just add that canada is cold too
+Future Gohan not cold enough for Canada lol
the Cummins is a great motor. Too bad it was wasted on the most worthless truck on the planet
Go to hell ram is the best truck ever
Adam Gipe agreed on that one. Worthless front ends junk transmissions and a body that rots off in 3 years makes a very worthless truck
You're mixing it up with Toyotas. They rust easier, not Rams.
youtube full of the videos about rusty toyotas
isans... poor lil chinese things
Says the jealous Ford guy 🤣🤣🤣
It might have been just my speakers but that truck sounded like a space ship.
I love the sound of crunching snow.
