RE: New to ME
Welcome to the Forum. In cold weather you can expect to be starting your Cummins when the Fords and Chevys are not. You can plug it up to help with starting, if you have the block heater cord.....

Congrats!!!! You wont be disappointed Welcome to the DF...lets get some pics of that truck!
As for cold weather....here is a collection of threads winter ???'s How cold is cold?
A lot of things can effect mileage; tires, gears, load, programmers, exhaust, intake, etc. etc.
I get mid teens w/ mine running around town; but I've got larger tires & straight piped.

You shouldn't have any trouble starting it at all in them temps, might get a block heater cord for the colder days...pretty optional though
