I put block heaters into both the XJ and MJ last summer in 90 degree heat. Paying off now.

The 99 that I just sold had a block heater, I wish I would have kept that rig. My "new" 98 that is my DD has bad juju surrounding it so far.......vandalized, hit a deer...

The ol 7.3 was pissed when I went to start her today, forgot to plug up the block heater last night.
I knew the batteries in my CTD were marginal. They were put in the truck just before I bought it four and a half years ago, and they were cheap batteries then. I've had no problems in the past starting at -20 F, but those batteries have been deep discharged a couple of times in the last month.

Part of the problem there, Nick, is the trucks that come up from the South starting with a full load of diesel that's only treated to 10 degrees F. Unless they dump some anti-gel in it, it will start to gel in the lines, and wax the filter up.

My 6.0 E350 started right up, first time I've used it this year, heater not used.
Of course, it's in a heated garage though

Yep your right on the fuel.. The air system must be maintained as well.
The extreme cold just brings out the worse in everything.

My 94 XJ fired right up yesterday AM. I realized it's been sitting a week before Christmas and thought I'd better drive it soon. It was -21 when I started it. I love that Jeep. :viking:

Ouch, my head hurts. My birthday is today so we hit the bars at midnight. A large number of shots and drinks in a hour and a half will do the trick.

Thanks Nick.
I'm feeling a bit better today. I think I may have the first ever case of carpal tunnel due to wiping. I'm going to find an ACE wrap today.

2 hour lift my ass this is turning out to be a pain in my ass! It took 4 hours to get my trackbar bushing and bolt replaced. Didn't even get around to putting spacers on it!
