I agree.

I never do a full glow cycle, unless its REAL (negative F) cold out.....normally I just wait 5-10 secs tops, even when its in the teens, it was only 14 out this morning when I went to leave, I glowed right around 10 secs, cranked, and 2-3 cranks later it was runnin'.

Heck, when its cold like that, even when its not cold, our gasser van takes 6-7 cranks to start, always does.....its thirst for oil that has developed probably doesn't help anything either.

80k on it and 1qt every 1k, disgusting.
