damn it was cold this morning in palmdale... rumor has it, it got down to 9* deg but that was the gossiping shelf stockers at the store im working on saying that.
i do know! it took 3 good 6-10 sec cranks after i let the truck sit with the KOEO to let the glow plugs try and do there job.
i need to read up on the glow plug system a little. mines not the simple relay style... ohh noo noo, mine has to be a module. i want to say the little i remember is that the glow plug module will tell the PCM if there's a problem with any of the plugs and throw a code. if thats the case a few weeks ago when playing with my buddys new snap on solius code tool he bought i dident have any glow plug codes.
i dunno the hard start this morning got me thinking of stuff ive read about in the past here on the forums. ok im rambling... time for bed.

At least you know your neighbors care about you.
They won't shoot looters.
Remember, this is Kalifornia, where the poor, misguided souls are "only trying to feed their families"...........
....... with YOUR food.

Yeah Marv, knowing the neighbors care is a good thing.
What I feel terrible about is one of our neighbors has a young child who's got some health issues, bad enough to where the paramedics have been out to their house a couple of times in the last few months. They have a full time in-house caretaker for the kid since they both work (teachers). Well, she and her husband were on their way home from a walk and they just happened to come around the corner on to our street when all of this was happening. Well, she took off running to the house as fast as her legs would carry her thinking something was wrong at home with the kid...she was bawling her eyes out when she got here.

Found a puddle of coolant under the truck today and more on the crossmember under the radiator. Looks to be a leak inbetween the top two fins on the passenger side as there is no coolant around the cap and no hose above the leak. The radiator is only a year maybe a year and a half old. Luckily JEGS said as long as there wasnt road damage or damage from an accident they would replace it.

We saw 18 degrees on my car display early this morning on Hwy 14 in Lancaster. If it wasn't 9 degrees, it was close. I'll be there tomorrow and possibly Wed. and am not happy about it.
