High altitude = hard starting?
I took my '85, 300 SD to Lake Tahoe, about 6500 altitude last week and it took a long time, many tries, to get it started the next morning after a 40 degree night. Down at sea level it starts very easily. Any of you mountain folk have any suggestions for making the old girl start easier if I take it there again? By the way, FYI, there seemed to be no diesel stations on Tahoe North Shore or even on US 80 in the Truckee area.
