Minus 15 F here now at 2 PM.
Has been cold for a few days and somewhat windy - surprise ??? We are on the prairies.
Supposed to warm up a bit this weekend. Randy On 23/01/2013 12:51 PM, Curt Raymond wrote:
T'was 1F here this morning. Angie took the Ranger to work as I need to put the snows on the 190D. My 240D wouldn't start with it colder than about 15F a couple years ago. Now with whatever damage the overheating did plus the massively thick Lucas oil additive (only maybe 1/2 pint but still) in the crankcase it didn't have a chance without added heat. Last night on the way home from a customer site the 190D had a thrashing whacking noise, I pulled over and it went away. Didn't come back for ~30 miles and again I pulled over and it went away. I *think* it might be a CV joint but I'll be taking a look under the car today when I change tires. I did take a gander under the hood and found nothing amiss... -Curt
