cold starting

[Grizz272]

Well when I came out of work this morning. The temp on the rearview mirror said 3*. I waited about 9 seconds the glow wire on the dash went out so I turned the key. She started right away, she did not like it but she started. After ideling about 5 minutes I noticed a little puddle under the exhaust pipe. Would that have been condensation or unburned diesel fuel? As I said it was 3* out and the wind was blowing so I stayed in the truck. Any ideas?
I was a little concerned about cold staring. It looks like I will not have to worry.

It's condensation. If you start your truck at home, take a look and you will see the same thing, and later it will be frozen. Normal.

If you let it idle long enough you can create an icicle that goes from the T-pipe to the ground. Have seen that many times on the little imports when it's -40. Kinda neet...
