I was having trouble with cold starts. This is the first morning with 20 degree weather since I got the truck (2005) back from the shop. They replaced the FICM and I bought two new batteries. Ford wanted $150.00 for the block heater cord, but thankx to you guys, I bought one at O'reileys for $20.00. Can't wait to see if she busts right off.

Starting cold nice

17 degrees Saturday morning when she started nice without using a block heater. I sure hope the bugs are gone for a spell.
