How to prevent damage to your diesel Cummins in extreme cold

 From Banks Power:

We spent almost $50,000 renting the same climate chamber that Tesla and GM use for sub-zero temperature testing. Why? To find out what’s actually required to start a RAM in sub-zero temps.

In this video you’ll learn:

 Why diesel engines struggle in sub-zero temperatures

 How thick oil, weak batteries, and fuel gelling stack against you

 Why block heaters matter more than most owners realize

 Why remote-start “couch starts” can hurt cold-start performance

 How the new Triple Heat Capable Monster-Ram delivers scalable intake heat up to 2,250 watts

We tested every heater configuration with and without block heat, monitored real-time data, and discovered the true limits of batteries, cranking RPM, and intake manifold air temperature in extreme cold.

No simulations. No guessing. Real engineering. Real testing. Real data.

Motor Oil for Cold Weather

What Motor Oil is Best for Winter? (And Other Cold-Weather Questions)

Did you know that most wear occurs on cold engine start up before thick or frozen motor oil has had a chance to circulate? Synthetic motor oils are much more fluid in cold for immediate lubrication even when starting an engine in extreme cold.
