The winter is finally over and it is in the high 70's here in Michigan's upper peninsula. Beautiful day. However, when I look at my 03 Duramax I wonder if by next winter there will still be problems with the new low sulfur fuel in cold weather. Lots of people had problems this year--especially in February when we had about 3 weeks straight of really cold winter weather. I ended up having my truck towed in. When I talked to the dealer he said that 15-17 trucks had gelled up or had problems that week--this is a small dealer in a very rural area. He talked about "bad fuel" and not enough winter additive. I did get the truck thawed out; added staynedene (sp?) and it works fine like always. But what about next winter? Oh...I had the hood on and plugged it in at night. If I know there will be problems like this next year, I would sell it and go back to a gasser--maybe. Will things be better next winter? Thanks, Paul.
