Stop in for a cup of coffee

All of the above
Turns out it was "I want some of your coffee"

Problem solved. Back to surveying for threats

Holy smokes y’all have put up fifty some pages since I have been on. We lost a couple officers at work so the hours have just been terrible. 19hr shift yesterday. Plus my full time job running our training center. Today I am doing nuthin but letting my body heal. Not sure I am man enough to backread. Side bar how bout them US girls! Woo Hoo! They took the gold in what has become just a great rivalry. Some excellent hockey by both teams. Sorry @fatoldguy
No need to be sorry ! They just played better . Canadian juniors let me down, bu again they are just kids . Hope you have yourself a better day !
 
Well my truck started, slow cranking but took right off.
A little scary starting things up when it gets this cold. My wife and I were up in Ely (this must be 6-7 years ago now), and it was -36 the morning we were supposed to leave. Her RX350 started....slowly...but our friend's brand new F150 didn't. Had to jump it, and use starting fluid. On a brand new truck.....

I watched an interesting video on You Tube about starting engines in the cold and letting them warm up. I still don't know what to think about it but they did mention the importance of an engine block heater or something to heat the oil. The oil is syrup and does not flow through the filter when it's so cold. The bypass in the filter does it's job but the engine may run for quite a long time without filtered oil. That may happen even at low and not sub zero temps.

I'd sell it and find one that would start. Hell of a deal being in that low temp. trying to jump start it.

Good point Mike.

I don't recall the details, but the damn truck was throwing Run (closed loop) codes at us during Crank. I think it thought it was running, and when we did eventually get it running, it ran like **** for about 5 minutes.

He still has the truck, as far as I know.

And my wife's RX350 has about 180k miles on it now, and it still purrs like a kitten.
