You know its cold when the snow is crunchy and squeaky when you walk on it

Started damn good for that cold

Thank you for showing an actual cold start! I’m in AB and seeing these 0c cold starts coming out of the states is laughable. If the extension cord isn’t stiff and the radio display isn’t moving slow, it ain’t a cold start IMO 🤣

Truck is going to file for divorce after that one

That slow starter crank on the 3rd start up had that old school Chrysler starter sound they had at normal crank speed.

i cold start my 2nd gen cummins 3 times a day in -35C, doesnt hurt the engine, got 350,000km no blow by, and runs like a dream pushing over 400horse

Damn -35 not plugged in just cranked a bit but she fired right up! She was a lil pissed and I bet your neighbors are even more pissed 🤣😅

Sounds great! I initially was going to say your neighbors probably hate the noise, but they're Canadians, you guys are never upset lol.

I grew up in Saskatchewan! Too long ago for all the farm cold starts we did....."Hey, who has the ether?!"

I used to work at a school district with about 220 buses, when the Temps would get below 0 Fahrenheit, us mechanics would come in upwards of 4 hours early just to get the buses started, the common rail buses didn't have many issues which we had about 120 of, but the heui motors like the dt466, maxxforce dt, cat c7 and cat 3126 would give us more fits than you could imagine. Those were cold mornings.

I can't imagine -15⁰C being a "nice day" 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting little fact, -40F is the same as -40C. That said, where I live in Alaska we can see as low as -40 (pretty damn close to your -35) and I have seen a lot of gas vehicles not want to start at those temps! That diesel of yours started up a lot better than I expected. Even my gas 6.0L Chevy doesn’t like starting at those temps. I mean It will start right up ,but its rough for a minute or so. Because of that I keep it in the heated garage in the winter. A lot easier on the truck lol.

You know it's cold when the snow squeaks. We were at 22 below zero F last week.

That's a very healthy engine/truck. Shows how easy they start if everything is working properly as it should. Those videos of trucks cranking over for minutes & minutes all have issues with fuel delivery and grid heaters/glow plugs. Your truck starts perfectly.

Woah those headlights are sick

Best starting 5.9 I’ve ever seen at that temp. 👍😎

You gotta love a Cummins. I have a vastly improved 2018 6.7 Cummins, man what a truck!

Mine started last year, and this year in the same temps with no issues

“when I first fired her up.. I almost cried” 😆

Sounds like a plane ready to takeoff!

It did pretty well all things considered! People who haven't experienced -35 to -40 ambient couldn't even imagine. It feels ten times colder than -25. The suspension doesn't move. The seats are stiff. Heater blower motors whine. Power steering pumps whine. I've got a 454 nv4500 truck and have to let out the clutch slow (in neutral) after starting it so it doesn't stall it. Cheers from just West of Saskatoon

Well I’m surprised for a diesel. They sure come a long way over the years.

There was a 4th gen with a exhaust brake and it sounds exactly like this, I love the jet sound.

I respect the effort to be out in the cold, I subbed for that

Nice truck mate. Diesels are the best

That vgt at idle sounds just like the ebpv on my 7.3 lol

That thing sounds amazing

She's a cranky girl. Thanks for the Vid. New Cummins owner and I'm doing some anxiety riddled research on cold starting.

-15 is a beautiful day where I live. Where IM FROM 50 degrees is goose down weather

that last cold start sounded nice 👍🏼

Wholly crap that's cold, glad it started for ya!!!

Nice Cold Start video!❄️ Thanks for sharing...👍

I'm the province to the right of you and I were experiencing another cold snap like you had. Right now there calling for -37 Monday morning between 6 and 9am (February 8) and basically the same temp all day. Cold snap started Friday evening. Definitely subscribing to a fellow Canadian.

It sounds like a jet engine when the high idle kicks in

This is a great video on cold starts! I live in Nunavut and it gets much colder, I do not want to take a chance on coldstarts here! Lol 😂

I'm not sure since yours is a 2003, but my 2005 High Idle could be enabled manually by turning the cruise control on and hitting set. I loved the -35 degree start, the 5.9 common rails are awesome motors!

Definatly a little unhappy at first, respect for going into cold..

That thing is awesome, it’s setup exactly how I’d want it if I bought one.

Your Cummins truck rocks at -35c I remember I could not start my Japanese diesel Toyota Surft @ -26c thanks for the vid bro👍

-40°F here in northern Minnesota this morning. Looking at -50°F but I don't have a diesel. So I'm not worrying.

that thing honestly wasn’t that bad at -35C/-31F it started up pretty well

This video reminded me to plug my little diesel Jetta in hahaha. Thank you 😊

I can’t believe it started that’s badass definitely a good truck to start when it’s that cold I really like the headlights you have in it where did you get them

I’m surprised even with cycling the grid heater three or four times like you said, I’m surprise you didn’t have to crack or bleed the injection system. Because I have a first GEN 93 5.9 and I always have to crack or bleed the fuel system at -25C

Those headlights look dam good!!

Nothing sounds better than a 5.9 Cummins

Where'd you get your truck washed 😂 mine ain't never looked so clean lol

Sounds like a 737 with that exhaust brake on lol

Man, I just cringed on that last startup. Sounds like an Airplane , that is so awesome haha

The coldest I've started mine is 8 deg F here in NM not plugged in. I use 5w-40 in winter makes starting easier than 15w40 .

My 12 valve is always pretty loyal. Sounded like that first start of the video the last couple days. It's been between 0-10 degrees the last couple days. Fahrenheit.

At -40 c it sounded like a tractor. Thanks for putting your truck through hell for us

could hear the snow talking. lol. Didn't need any " Cosby " in a can. lol. Give her the Ketchup, all of it!!! Cheers from Beaver Valley Ont.

Cummings said um done with this cold relationship 🤣🤣

Ouch, huh! lol No doubt that the Cummins was a little grouchy, I would be too. Those batteries, however, they've gotta be FUMMING at that bullhockey. lmao

It's plainly obvious that you put much effort into maintaining your truck, more specifically the requirements for owning a diesel in an area where the cold is impossible to escape. Anti-gel, frequent diesel filter changes, oil/water separator maintained, and a couple of hot batteries! How many miles on your Cummins? Thanks for posting your video, which showcased how a properly loved and maintained diesel, sitting overnight in dangerously cold conditions, can roar to life in mere seconds when others have their hoods up, scratching their heads. Greetings from Louisiana, and try to stay warm!

Nothing like a good cold start

Peep 3 peddles wish mine was a manual. My 4th gen gets a little upset around-15°f.

I'm surprised you don't have the cold weather front cover on your truck. Mine runs so much nicer when the coolant is good and warm

They must be treating your diesel with kerosene up there. There's no way Southern summer diesel would start in those conditions.

Damn lol. That’s some cold ass shit right there.

That's a clean 03, didn't see any rust. I guess it gets so cold there they don't bother with the salt.

Haha you know its cold when the extension cord is stiff

Wow it’s crazy how easily your truck will start in this weather anything below freezing in Fahrenheit I have to plug it in and it’ll still crank longer.

Get a Lapphund. Friendly and smart. Healthy. And, it won't need a coat, as it has just about the warmest coat imaginable as standard.

Weird how our diesels start like nothing up in Canada!

at first is sounded like an hold Harley turning over!

Im up in alberta and my old 6.5 td if its not plugged in passed -15°c she wont start gotta love 25 year old Detroit diesels lol

Clean truck man

Hey man, loved the video. Crazy it even started. I'm looking into buying a 4th gen soon. I'm live in a small town in Labrador. It gets pretty cold here too. I only drive 7-10 mins to get to work. The truck wont see any highway driving at all. Highest speed limit we have here in town is 60 km/h. Should I be concerned buying a diesel and using it like this? It will be deleted.. but I'm concerned about it long term. Thanks man.

Amazing... :-)

Love it brotha that howler kit sounds sooooo gooood love to rip that through town and pull load

Impressive it starts that cold . I plug mine in at zero c lol. I haven’t tried it unplugged nor will I if I don’t have to.

I bet all that cold start smoke smelled bad, not like the normal awesome diesel smell

I bet that thing would still start. Without any grid heater.. mine does. Even in -40. I got a 03. fuckin Mint 👌🏻

You should start your truck after plugin it in over night at -35 Celsius just so we can see the difference plugin it in does.

Great video man! When you start your truck after the grid heaters have been kicking in, is it normal for the battery voltage to hover below the 14 volt mark for about a minute?

I've owned several diesels over the years, and my 04 cummins takes longer than any other to actually warm up and start blowing heat.

That smoke would've been smell great 😮😊 nice diesel smoke..,..😊

Hello there, could I use a part of your video for my cold-starting compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thank you for answer in advance :)

I feel same way I just had to do to my baby!

love me a cold start

Texans after this storm watching it be even colder for starting diesels: 👁👄👁

My 2019 f250 powerstroke is tuned and deleted i live in chicago when its 20 degrees or colder when i do a cold start my truck fires right up i dont have a block heater but when it starts the truck blows a bunch of white smoke for few minutes then when it warms up it stops blowing smoke: is that normal on a deleted diesel??

The grid heater did its job. Do it without a grid heater.

This truck started like a champ, hell most petrol cars will not start like that at -35 - it;s obvious that it is a well maintained vehicle. My only natural conclusion is that when I see the millions of trucks on youtube not firing up and even warmer temperatures, is that either they do not have glow plugs, batteries, or the engines are well worn or tuned (in a bad way) or a combination of all the above.

Such a good dude

Purrs like a kitten

Well you definitely maintained your truck and use the right fuel for it if it starts this well in such cold temps. Do you use a 5W40 oil in the winter versus say a 15W40? The thinner cold weight should certainly help in the middle of January.

Ok I’m just now learning more about these diesels. What’re you referring to in this case when you mention the exhaust brake? What does it do?

best cold start iv seen all year :)

-15 nice day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... and i'm cold at 12 celsius

I live in northern AB I feel your pain bud… 😆

My dodge 2012 will do -10 NP -20 wtf -35 dunno plugged it in. Great video. I also get a kick from these ppl that believe wind chill is the temp.

Hey man do a cold start this morning! -37

Get you a duramax they love the cold.

Must be cold if the pup is wearing a sweater.

I wanted to put a Ex brake for a long time Now I’m thinking of the vgt kit you happy with this set up

I bet those tires are rock hard at that temperature

My 06 with 90 horse injectors and efi live doesn’t cold start as good as ur truck even on 45 degree mornings. It cranks hard and then a big thick cloud of white smoke. Thinking I may have worn out piston rings
