It's cold..... Really cold.

Guys, think about it- The wind cant get at the engine when it's in the garage, but it can't get at the engine when it's outside either because the truck is in the way! And unless the "wind" is somehow cooler than the stationary air then it wont cool the engine down any more. That's why when the weather people describe windchill they use the term "feels like". Things aren't actually colder just by being in the wind, unless the wind is colder.

what's nitro- I've lived in MN all my life. Cars start better enclosed than outside. Your theories are wrong.

Tell you what - you leave one rig outside, and one inside overnight. Then go out in the morning and try to start them. My money is on the one inside. And every farmer between Idaho and New York will tell you the same. I understand your rationale, as I also argued with my old man about it many years ago. But now, like he was then - Been there, done that.
