It’s wanting to turn over but won’t fire up. No block heater. Battery has juice from What I can tell. It was in this colder weather all night.could be 100 different things. Need more info. Provide as many details as possible. What are you seeing? What are you hearing? Did you plug in a block heater?
I’m almost positive that’s what it is. Any idea what I can do to remedy the issue? Besides the ambient temp outside be above freezing? LolI think your fuel might have gelled up.

idk this engine but my diesel Benz has a plug
this weather is tough on everything!
I am sure your #2 diesel fuel is winterized. Also, the water/fuel separator has a heater for the fuel to prevent gelling. You can add the Mopar premium diesel fuel treatment as well.It’s cold here in TX. -2 with a wind chill of -12 when I got up. He won’t crank. Never owned a diesel vehicle before. Any help?

If the temp is -2, then you can pretty much bet it isnt cranking because the fuel is Gelling up. They make fuel additives to prevent this. Also, block heaters are a very good thing for diesels, in cold weather.It’s cold here in TX. -2 with a wind chill of -12 when I got up. He won’t crank. Never owned a diesel vehicle before. Any help?
