It's a mystery...

A nice guy with a chevy suburban with a diesel with 300k+ miles came from the local garage to give me a jump.

He felt that because there was no smoke while cranking that the fuel in the cylinders was not even being pushed out because it was too cold.

He suggested plugging it in for a few hours, which I've done and which hasn't made any difference.

So I called back and I'm going to have him tow it to his garage.

I absolutely need the car tomorrow AM so we can get to Chicago for business so I might as well do it now instead of waiting until tomorrow AM, chances are it still won't start then.

A little frustrating since I feel as I've done everything possible to prepare for this trip: fuel treatment, glow plugs, etc. but who could have predicted the incredibly low temperatures?
