Glad I installed the block heater in the jeep a month or 2 ago. It is warm on start-up 

The jeep is gonna be angry Monday morning. Highs here of -5.....you boys up nort der are probably gonna see colder!
I had -14 this morning. Thank god you bought me new batteries for the powerjoke!!!!![]()
-8 here this morning, the Dodge is sitting outside purring like a kitten and it's probably generating its own fuel because it has a Cummins in it! Still has shitty uncomfortable seats though... heading yo Arkansas line to pick up my new skid steer, it is going to be a cold bisch out there loading the trailer...
Cheese "hard nips" Man
It got all the way to 30 last night. Good thing I plugged the truck in.

Just sitting here at work makes my fuel gauge go up.
Big 'we aren't responsible for seats' Hank
Got down to -9 here,
Got down to -9 here, going to be driving my Jeep this weekend (I hate to leave my mom without a vehicle) because there is a prediction of 6-10" of snow. The VSA (a form of traction control) in the Accord does okay in the road conditions, but I want 4wd this weekend if I need it.
What Jeep don't you throw money at
As soon as I get someone to confirm she locked up her motor or not, she will proceed from there (I need to get a hold of her neighbor to look at it). Once it is determined for sure what is wrong, it will either get fixed or I will find another spare tire to put on the front (she has two brand new front tires) and keep the new tires to sell and then scrap the van. She will be responsible for finding her own vehicle. I don't know what she will be able ot afford, but if she finds something, it will be looked over the best it can be. I WANT my Jeep to keep.
If it wasn't for Christmas and other family things, someone would have already looked at it to determine what is wrong.
It is not very hard to tell if a motor is locked up. Put along breaker bar and socket on the nut at the end of the crank and see if you can turn it.
If it is making that sound, it's toast. Last thing you could try (sounds like you gave up though) is put a socket on the crank bolt and see if you can turn it by hand.
