Were YOU THERE THAT DAY REV. NO you were not I saw it happen and there were about 20 other drivers also saw it happen. This was the weekend Fargo got hit with that massive Blizzard in the 90's and put it to you this way trucks were buried up to the roofs in spots and it was taking ENDLOADERS to dig them out.

I didn't claim it didn't happen. :roll:

I claimed the reason it happened was not caused by fuel gelling in 5 minutes, or by batteries failing within 5 minutes because of the cold.

Fuel Gell was more than likely secondary I am betting since it took the shop 45 mins to pull him into it. But at -40 F nothing is going to like to crank.

Now the story changes, and Colt's and my assessment stands. :roll:

Thank you Rose, been a brutal month, VERY cold! BUT, the end is near! It was a balmy -45C in Yellowknife yesterday... & believe me that is WAY better than -55! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Worst of the whole mess is when it gets that cold at home here, we had some nights of -45, truck was pretty fussy about starting, but we are pretty sheltered here at home, so as long as I can keep out of the wind she'll usually go, but when I'm on the road once the temps fall below -30 I don't shut her off except to check the oil :) We are far to isolated to take any no-start chances!
