I think my truck has officially said F it. Was -15 this morning and had no 1st gear. Was instant check engine light when I tried to move. All most like it was trying to start out in 2nd gear. Was running a good 12minutes before heading to work. Got to a Sheetz and seemed better once restarted. Got to work and checked fluid level and it was good. Guess computer was too cold. Seemed ok on way home.

One of the cold days last week freaked my dads 2005 ram 1500 out. Started it and the electronic throttle lightning bolt appeared. No throttle at all. Truck would idle fine just couldnt drive it. He had to restart it several times and eventually the light went out and the truck drove fine
I hate winter. I don't ski or snow board so winter is useless to me. Add on top of that the heat went in my truck, I'm done with winter.

The damn garage door opener crapped out today - thinking it is the drive gear - but it is too damn cold to go down there to work on it. Plus, the '66 is on one side and I don't want to put it outside to work on the door.
At least we might see 40 on Saturday!

Ive worked outside for about 25 years... I hate this weather just as much as when its 85.
Sorry but I love it! When summer roles in and humidity is through the roof, then I will be complaining! You can always get warm, can't always cool off...
On another note, the cold weather, especially the months of December & January are always my two slowest months, so that sucks for me!

I don't complain when it is hot. I just drive faster with the windows down.

Quoted for truth!Stupid automatics
it must be Dodges. Every time it's below zero my power steering is crap until it moves a little then it's fine. It's okay if warmer, or once it moves.
came out of work today and my temperature display reads "--". At least now it won't know it's below zero so that problem is fixed :) no idea what's up with that thing (actually all functions but the compass are dead).
as a bright spot, I've started ordering parts for my junk, to get excited about something, picture 35 splines, spool, and 5/8 studs. Shit is getting serious ;)
making any races this year?????

Still piecing together the schedule, but not looking goi for any of the big races. Hoping there are some windows for a few local races (loving QCR 11.50 index). Should be done for Bowling Green and on from there. Not looking good for much else. :(
Ed, I wonder if it's a Dodge thing... my buddy started his up, the idiot lights came on, showing 0 oil pressure. He turned it off right away. Checked oil, level was fine. Restarted and it was good. On a side note, the hot rod Cavalier wagon has lit every time, gone through everything, right up the unplowed lane, etc. :D
I hate winter with a passion. That is all.

Not sure if a Dodge thing. Seemed ok this morning. Now the steering. Ya it sucks when it's cold until you get it turned once. Than all is good.
I need to buy more parts for car. I haven't thought of it since September.

And yet you left the automatics suck comment slide ... really disapointed ... really ;)
Good to hear mine isnt the only one .. It's non existant until it turns, then fine ... really odd.
On the good side, my temeprature display worked this morning. Of course it knew how cold it was and the power steering did it's thing, lol
At work when it comes to service trucks we 2 rules... no Dodges and no automatics
During the first polar vortex when it was -11 one morning, i cranked my car over and i guess it was enough for it to drop the timing chain. This has been an expensive winter for me. F this shit!

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
