-11, with a wind chill of -21 this morning. I think it gelled? Im not sure, the boost gauge pegged out and EBP spiked, it would shake and shudder at idle. Lots of blue smoke. I limped it back home and put it in the shop. Turned the heat on 45 min later it ran fine? Guess I should have plugged it in last night? lol
I left it at home however.
It threw 4-5 codes complaining about EBP, Boost, MAP Sensor, etc etc. The rail pressure was fine though. So I ma not really sure whats up.

Josh, I do have to say my Dodge 5.9L Cummins work truck started up just fine without being plugged in everyday sitting for 12-14 hours straight in -14+ temps. Dont know why but our work trucks hardly freeze up.

But i dont see what plugging it in has anything to do with it when it was sitting inside the shop. I mean it was like 25 degrees in there.
From what I can tell either the vgt/turbo actuator froze in one spot allowing too much boost and/or the EBP (exhaust back pressure sensor) collected moisture and froze causing it to read an incorrect pressure which threw the computer off. It started and ran fine later. Now it has not ran all day, if i get time I will go out and try to start it and see what happens.

Zach isn't there a return line for the fuel? I would expect that, when it's running, it should be heating up the fuel and returning the excess fuel back to the tank, keeping the fuel warm.
Is it possible condensation in the intercooler froze and threw ice through the engine or something? Melted and threw water in? I don't know...

After some more reading the VGT actuator has coolant that runs through it and the fuel cooler, when it is so cold it could possibly feeze. I Have some type of coolant leak maybe it is from that system because I cant find any other leaks and the main coolant system is still full. Its still 0 or below right now, no way im going out there even with heat inthe shop. It takes so long to warm up. I am also very tired of debugging stuff. Work has been everything but a delight lately that by the time i get home I am whipped.
