Went out to start my 15 3500 today even being plugged in it took about 30 seconds of cranking to start. And gave me the low voltage code. Guess the fuel and batteries didn't like -15 before wind and -35 with wind sitting for 1.5 days. Never had to give it peddle when the push button start was trying before.

Yea the wind chill gets us here in South Dakota. But that should be a fun start. I'm thinking I need to add battery blankets

I'm pretty sure you guys know but the wind shill thing is only for us, it doesn't affect vehicles and equipment at all.

-22 F was the ambient temp. Coldest it's been here in years. Lucky for us wind is less than 10 mph this morning and windchill is only -35. Although my truck only recorded the temp as -13, after it was started and running for a bit it dropped to -19. I will try not to forget to plug it in from now on LOL. This sounded nasty.

I will admit that I didn't realize that. I know it bows extra snow in the bay though.
