At $30.00 I would buy one in a hoof beat too Grant.
No doubt about it now, winter is really biting us in the butt hard now!
Sorry Sherm, I'm in rep jail too.
I`m all out of brass NotEnoughTrucks, hope your truck did start, it`s just too cold to be outside for long messing with that.

Hi Tim!

Safe we are, warm, no!

Ranger did start, but my F250 4X4 is frozen solid!

At these temps I don't even bother the diesels. I plugged in the Fusion in case we/I need to venture outside the yard for anything...

Wife and I spend the morning moving a couple dead items out of the basement. There was a huge freezer down there that was left behind when we bought the place, along with the "old" treadmill that gave up the ghost. What an adventure.

Stay warm boys!!!

That is the typical use Grant. We (my wife) actually use ours. I prefer to go to the gym, but have used the home treadmill before on a regular basis. I bought a new one for momma for Xmas. Told her I want to see a rock hard bikini body in 2 months. She told me to buy a magazine...

My F250 is parked for the winter. I don`t need it and I wouldn`t mess with it unless it was parked in my shop.

My truck started fine today, I was a little worried as I hadn't started it since Tuesday. I do keep it plugged in all the time and I add fuel conditioner with each fill.

I usually run my diesel once a week or every other week during the winter. I look a head and find days in the -20 or warmer and those are the days I take my truck to work. It's about a 50km trip there to work and then I try and park it inside our wash bay to thaw.

Good morning fellas... Dare I say it again? Brrr...

Both my trucks are diesel...perhaps thats a bad idea in SK, especially in winter, and now that gas has dropped so much in price. I've been driving the car more over the holidays, and with some possible career changes in my future, probably be driving the car a lot more anyway.

Stay warm out there fellas... If you go outside, make sure you wear your house
