Heck yeah!
How about this? It was about -5*f outside today. All I had was lots of cranking, a boatload of glowplug time and a few sprays of Axe "essence" down it's gullet. No ether or block heater. I coulden't use the block heater even if I wanted, the prongs froze and boke off in the female end of the plug at work last night.
Looks like I'll be keeping a spare cord in my trunk from now on.
