Yeah I experimented yesterday by not plugging it in. Pretty sure the diesel gelled overnight (got down to 15). Plugged it in for about 2 hrs, cycled the glow plugs a few times, and still had to give her a snort of ether. My buddy’s powerstroke killed a starter and 2 batts (they were almost 6 years old though) and even in the afternoon when he finally got it cranked you could tell it wasn’t happy.
They were calling for 16 tonight but it seems it only made it to the low 20’s. I plugged in the block heater at 5pm and have let it run all night lol
