Yesterday morning it was -10 and the 6.0 failed to start. It would fire but when I let off the started it died. I tried 5-6 times gave up and pluged it in and hooked up the battery charger. One hour later it fired right up. My 01 would light up down to -20. It has started at 0 before so i'm not really complaining.
