Sunday night it got down around -10°, and that made Monday a really bad day. Horse drinker froze. It took a couple hours to get that thawed out. Farm truck started right up, then it started smoking something awful, looked like a tanker fire in my driveway. That finally cleared up so I took off for town. Made it about a mile and quit. Restarted, made it halfway back home and it quit again. Called the tow service and had it hauled to a buddy's shop. He put it inside overnight and thawed it out. Crankcase oil had all been replaced by diesel fuel. Guess an injector nozzle stuck open to cause that. He changed the oil and it started right up and ran fine.
I had a goal of making it to 300k miles with that truck, but leaving me walking in zero degree weather ended that plan at 245k. Traded it in on a new one yesterday.
