Garry, it's an Autostart brand and there's no delay timer built into this unit. The new Dodge trucks you only need to delay aboput 5 seconds in most conditions.

I am to understand that when the truck is warm....5 seconds works, but when the truck is cold 5 seconds won't do it..... Am I misinformed?

That's why I posted " in most cases " If you have -25 celcius and you don't plug that truck in, chances are it won't start. With the vehicle plugged in it should still start at -25 within 5 seconds. This is the case with newer Fords and Duramax Chevys as well.

If you delay the start too long when it's cold it's not good either because the glow plug chamber will cool and it won't start properly.
