started my 99 Dodge diesel last week, it had been parked outside for 7 hours in -35C weather after a journey of 15 miles... it started first flick of the key after only one cycle of the glow plugs (block heater and oil pan heater were NOT on) but it didn't want to run on more than two or three cyclinders at idle, so i drove it for two miles or so and then it idled fine. mind you i run 0-40 full synthetic engine oil and that helps lots. lots of white smoke though when it's cold.
