Let the rig warm up and went out to load up a buddy's truck. Didn't leave mine running while we winched his rig up (blew the driveshaft) thought that it would still be warm 35min later.
Started up a 20deg incline and all the sudden had a lurch and sounded like my engine was going to come through the cab.
Pulled over and found my exhaust manifold in 3 pieces!!!!!
AAARRRGGGHH!!
Crap.....12deg + my setup + 15k trailer = lotsa welding

That is unusual. Might want to check if you have some broke mtor mounts. I have seen those fail and let the engine move enough to crash the exhaust into stuff. It could probably even put enough weight on it to break the manifold. I wouldn't think it would break just from the cold unless it was ahuge temperature swing like start it up cold and tromp on it pulling a load.
