Yeah.. I know call my stupid.. but I was going to go skiing today.. until my truck didn't start! Well... I turns over... but not starty! I think I need a new battery because it's totally weak.. meter say good charge but i think not!... Soo... I hooked up some jumper to my ranger (it started) and I also have a block heater slapped to the bottom of the oil pan... maybe I can get hurt started by noon or so! Anyone else with this problem this morning that turned your day into ****?

 

Dude my day is ruined when it gets below 60. I would die in -30.

 

I've had pretty damn good luck with these trucks starting, I haven't run mine in a week, not plugged in, fired right up, -33 without the windchill (truck doesn't really care about windchill, I usually plug it in but my van stole the cord...). Sounds like you might have a problem. How old is the battery?

 

pretty old.. I think it's time for a new one! also put some HEET in the gas... tryied starter fluid.. no luck... definately the battery

 

This morning the temp is reading -30, the intrepid well not start, the wife will miss work, no school for the brats, thought I would get a day to myself, I havent tryed my truck 01 1500 I will try it when it gets warmer -15 I think it will fire right up. I now have a pop at low torq I blame it on this cold weather.

 

There's skiing in Ohio?

 

-19 this morning and she had alittle struggle starting but she fired up after a couple seconds (remote start). Thought i was gonna actually have to walk out there and start it! :-p I would say it sounds like a bad/old battery.
Why wouldnt they ski in Ohio?

 

I just didn't realize there was, thats all. Didn't think there was much for mountains in Ohio.

 

hahaha.... well there's some hills called snow trails, brandywine, and boston mills.... they are the only things we have.. not much of a hill... but some pretty cool terrian parks! nothing like the rockies!

 

Were -31 again (without the wind)

Gawd, someone make it stop, I'm so sick of this crap....
