what a way to start the morning. Wifey forgot to put anti gel in the chore truck when she filled it up yesterday...so, had to use the trail rig to pull the truck into the shop and cranked up the heat. Nothing like a late start and freezing cold weather to get the day started Is 5:30 AM to early to start drinking??? :cheers:

-11 F. I blame all the hippies with their hybrids, not doing their part to help with global warming.

-24 here.
Actual temp, not wind chill!
There is ice on the inside of the doorknobs.
The sliding glass door is frozen shut.

-22 here. Although that was at 4AM when I woke up to wolves howling outside. Guessing they killed a deer or they are on the trail of one. Dogs were going nuts when they heard them. Now it's -19.

yup mines 4x4...thought about lockouts but those kits run 1500 to 2000 bucks! 400 in hubs is cheap...plus by the time i'm done on the hub reinstall i'll be able to get them out next time...

picked up an air hammer tonight...we'll see what kind of a mess i can make friday afternoon...

mac 'can only get 4 vehicles in the heated garage when the megacab is in there' gyvr

An EMS Offroad kit for your '06 looks to be quite a bit more expensive than for my '99. I can pick it up for around $1,200.

Not sure what the temp got down to here last night. Some knucklehead forgot to plug the truck in, and I've found out just how far gone the batteries really are. Far enough that it won't start. I'll have 2 new batteries tonight. In the meantime, I'm driving a Civic,and remembering just how much I hate FWD and open diffs.

Some knucklehead here never got around to replacing his glow plug relay before it got cold.
Even plugged in the PSD didn't start.
Damn new house's garage will not fit an ext. cab long bed.

One other thing about the lockout hubs, Mac. 2wd low range....... it's nice for backing up trailers.

Our good Cherokee has a dead battery. My Cherokee has started every time since the cold snap started. -14 actual temp today and it started fine!

Looked at their site, the Jeep kit is less expensive than Warn's. I didn't know anybody else made a kit.

Hey you got the truck in the family room. Now you want to use cold water to wash it?!

I picked up a remanned alternator, and found a shop a mile and a half away with an open bay this afternoon.

Forgot to mention this yesterday.

When I pulled my CTD into his shop, I parked next a late 60's Chevelle set up for the strip. 454 big block & drag slicks. It's not a resto, he's turning it into a full-on quarter-miler.

And what's really funny is that he was bemoaning selling his 2002 CTD all the while he was replacing my alternator.
