Stop in for a cup of coffee

That's not good. My diesel, when the POS starts in this cold weather, sounds like little worker elfs (can we still say that stuff?) banging away with their sledge hammers for a while. Hopefully not bearings. Good Luck
Yeah it doesn’t like cold starts, but she was plugged in and pre warmed to 160. But this was after full warm up. It actually started making this noise on the drive home last night. Then it went away and I couldn’t replicate it. But after a mile down the road this morning, it came back with a force. I’ll know more when I pull the valve cover when the sun comes up. It’s puffing some faint white smoke from under the hood but I can’t find the source. May just be blow by as it’s so faint. But with these winds it’s impossible to pin point.
