[QUOTE="KDX220rm, post: 137995, member: 16113"] In extreme winter weather, I usually plug in my Powerstroke diesel block heater and have the timer kick on about 3 - 4 hours before I start it and then it only takes about 5 - 10 minutes before its at normal operating temperature, so I never leave mine plugged in all night. We have 5 diesel farm tractors and I do the same thing with them. One time I did forget to plug it in and even at 15 degrees below zero, the glow plugs did an excellant job and fired the truck right out. It took about 15 - 20 minutes before it finally warmed up. Mine is very quiet at highway speed. Yes its alittle more noisier at lower speeds. Diesel fuel around the KCMO area is about 15 - 20 cents cheaper than gas and you do have to look alittle harder for diesel, but on a 800 mile trip, I found diesel at 1/2 the gas stations and you can always find a truck stop on any interstate. You might have to pay a little more for diesel at a regular gas station over a truck stop. I have almost 36,000 on my 2000 F250 and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I would also be very careful about the new Chevy diesel. I would never buy anything that was just developed as they always have defects and manufacture corrections during their first two years of production. [/QUOTE]
