I was kind of wondering about that. Mine '99 is hard as shit to start when it's cold. I had to get a jump once when I was at snowshoe and it was down around zero. I know glow plugs have changed some (my VW has some kind of 'get really hot really fast' glow plugs), but I didnt know if modern trucks had as much of an issue. Doesnt sound like they do. I have one new battery in the truck, and one old one, so it could also be something related to that but I haven't bothered to try to swap one out.
Both of our Powerstrokes are pretty tough to get to start in the morning when it's cold. 01 and an 04. I guess glow plug tech has improved?
