So, it is a very chilly night out in the wastelands surrounding Chicago. My 300SD is telling me that the outside temperature is -0.4 F (-18C). There are few things like that cackle of delight by beating your best cold weather start by half a degree.

For the curious it was three full glow plug cycles, 2 seconds of cranking, and 30 seconds of foot on the accelerator before the RPM's increased.
