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.
