Pretty common to go on a couple day cabin or snowmachine trip at -25 F come back and due to cold soak, its tough to get anything to run.

The 3.0 diesel seems to warm up fast in cold weather, not like a HD diesel.

I have noticed that as well. If plugged in, it was blowing at least partially warm air within 12 blocks of my house when leaving for work in the morning
