tampa is pretty south.. but I assure you it HAS seen below 30. and even in central florida just 1.5 hours north of holiday. I have had water freeze inside an oil sump on a tractor I had brought in to work on... it does get cold enough and stay cold enough for oil to get thick and water to freeze in florida.. despite popular belief. I had 2 risers in my pasture freeze and pop to prove it..
zero? can't say that I ever remember even single straight digits.. but 20's and low doubles are not even rare in florida.. we've already seen those the last week of december..

I never said that they could not be built to work.But in pure stock form they are junk.
I was going to mention that, but you beat me to it. They had to go to outside vendors for their engine/trans combo. GM doesn't own either one anymore.
I find the GM diesel "superiority complex" laughable since GM single-handily about killed the diesel car market in the U.S. in the early '80s. Can you say Olds 350 diesel?
The 6.2, 6.5, and the 6.5 turbo weren't better than what Ford and Dodge were offering at the time either.
OK, now it's time for the snarky comments from the usual suspects.

Alaska is a great average indicator of US climate! Lots of people living up there, too (698,000) :thumbsup::laughing:
http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds...tate:02000&dl=en&hl=en&q=population+of+alaska
I wonder what San Diego, L.A., Phoenix, Tuscon, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Atlanta, San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Mobile, Charleston, Birmingham and the Gulf Coast are? lol Probably on 50-100 million people in those metro areas......Wonder if they get a lot of 0* temps there? :laughing:
I'd bet 100 million of the US population lives where it never or maybe only once in 100 years goes to zero. Heck I live near Philadelphia which is pretty far north and it only goes below 0* a few times per decade.
What differerence does all this make? LOL

You'll get some sort of lame reply likely listing average temps in coastal areas where there are tons of SuperDuty trucks working every day.
The interior of our country, the heartland, is where most trucks seem to see consistent farm and hard duty service. New York city is one of our most populous areas just like coastal towns on the west coast. Big crew cab diesels are the common choice of transportation in those areas. You know, they are so much easier to maneuver in traffic and park in the crowded downtown areas. Silly you, you should know the highest population areas are where HD pickups are most common. LOL Construction vehicles are much larger and your lawn mowing and landscaping people in those places seem to run 1/2 ton pickups pulling utility trailers.
