That is how the 6.0 is designed. The power is held back by the computer until the engine and trans are up to temp.

I started mine this morning after finding out my car has a seized strut. I didn't have it plugged in, it always starts fine and I let it warm up for 5-10 minutes and left for work. You shouldn't work a cold diesel. Anyhow after the 5-10 minutes my windsheild was thawing out, so it warmed up pretty quick at 25*. I use synthetic Rotella 5w-40 if htat helps. I think it made it easier to start, and the engine sounds a lot happier.

Two word "Power Servcie" Its an addative you put in your fuel. I live in Montana and i have started my truck at -20 I dont like to do it 99 percent of the time i plug it it but i have forgot a few nights and had to get to work so i had no choice. It Keeps your fuel from geling and adds Cetane it helps your truck start easier. You can get it at any wal mart or parts store. A lot of fuel stations have it also.

alot of times if you let the glow plugs cycle 2-3 times the truck will start, but its better to plug it in
