Yeah, I had one of those quit me in the middle of the night at 35 below!
We were leaving early am on a trip to Texas coast and my wife and little kids were with me. I didn't have a spare so I just took out the filter and it started right up, and drove it without the filter until we got to Alamosa or Taos or someplace in the daylight.
It's almost like those little inlet filters were engineered to keep the 350 from being too reliable
