Then you can keep the 15* stuff down in Austin Travis. I'll still be cold when it's in the mid 50's this weekend.
Waiting on springtime to get here. And to think it was in the low 70's last weekend.

I think my optimas are on their way out too. They are now 8 years old and survived me totaling my 01 F250 and then were in the 97 till I started robbing it for parts. They've had a good life. I haven't tested them yet but one is starting to swell up pretty bad and my amp gauge is pretty high. That's not a good sign.
Now they are calling for -5 tonight. Just great.

I tried to get you guys a vid but my camera died about 5 secs after she started. My truck doesn't put on a show like it used to with the 15w-40. lol.
On a side note I got my old F150 out of the drift that was almost as tall as the cab. That poor girl started pretty easily except the engine compartment was snow packed. You just can't beat those in-line 6 300's!

Chris, where are you at? I will be up in Waco this weekend. My grandpa says it pretty nipply up there right now.
Just got back to the shop and fired up my truck to move it to the other parking lot.. Did almost the same thing as in the video after jumping the GPR for about 20 seconds, except this time it only took about a minute to get it started.

Just changed the GPR. Glow plugs work great now. Guess we will see what happens tomorrow morning. As usual, while fixing that, I found another problem. Fuel leak!!! If there is one thing I hate, it's leaks. I have a hard time tolerating leaks. It's the rubber push-loc feed line. It's dry cracked all the way down.. Fuel system has only been run for about 35k miles..

The skirt comes off when it drops below 95. When it's in the teens or twenties like it's been it takes me 20 min. to get dressed enough to go outside. 3 or 4 days of this stuff is just too much. You folks that deal with this for 6 months every year are just crazy.

Only in Texas will you see the state flag fly at the same height of the Red, White, and Blue!
