Mine does, with more than 300,000 miles on the odometer! So does my
brother's, but his lives in a garage except when it's parked outside
when his wife drives it to work....

People that think a 22 year old diesel engine will just crank right
up, not
smoke, run smooth after sitting in 20 degree weather all night are
smoking
crack.

just because your SDL also did that does not mean its right. A 60x
should start right up down to at least 0 even with dino oil in it.

Dude, this is normal. My SDL would run rough for the first minute

Taking off with a cold engine was a trip... pegged to the floor,
slow as
hell. It smoked, it rattled, it was slow... Don't let these fools
tell you
that you need this and that, it's either 21 or 22 years old, cut
it some
slack.
As long as there is there is no sluggishness or excessive smoke at
idle
when
up to operating temp, then you have a perfectly sound SDL.
I could be wrong, you may want to CHECK YOUR FUSES!
