OK how many are going to unplug the timer on their block heater tonight?<br>The Beast is gonna get hooked up to an all-night AC I.V. about 2100hrs. <br>Man... I can't remember it ever being this cold..........but then I can't remember what I ate for breakfast either.. <br><br>How do you guys and gals in the real cold climates stand these temps?<br><br>Just for giggles tried to pour the straight 60 weight oil for the Shovelhead H-D..... I had to squeeze the bottle.... it came out like Playdoh outta the &quot;FunFactory&quot;

 

We are locked in under this high pressure over us. I havent had to plug my truck in the past 10 days. <br>Temps never seem to drop below mid 30's lately. This is REALLY warm for us this time of the year.<br>It really sucks. I like winter... the stuff we have now is more like spring than winter!<br>We usually have snow on the ground, and ice on the windows... Now, nothing but an occasional drizzle...<br><br>Enjoy winter while you got it... I guess.<br><br><br>Rich

 

:'( Grill Covers = Heat

 

BRDIESEL,<br>Right now I'm running grille covers and a piece of cardboard slipped between the radiator and the charge air cooler.<br>Toasty temps once it warms up ;D, but some gawd-awful racket when she first lights off after sitting in the cold all day at work. <br><br>Ed

-4[sup]o[/sup] this morning. Had her on a timer for 3 hours. WTS took about 15 seconds. Injector pump was a little buzzy, but ran fine. It's 5:30PM now and it's 6[sup]o[/sup]. Cabin fever is beginning to set in. Wife wants to go shopping this weekend.......anywhere. :

 

Could you use a lighter oil. ???

 

It's not that bad. <br>The Beast just prefers the temps a little ...shall we say less frigid.<br>As for the Harleys.....I don't even bother trying to start them when it's this cold.

 

Hehehe on trying to start the Harley...I spent 30 mins starting my 113ci custom build today...then I shot some either in and she popped right off&gt;&gt;&gt;scared the h#ll outta me when she started had flames outta the pipes<br><br>Ive been lucky this year and have not plugged my truck in yet this is the first time I'v been in cold weather for 13 years...been stuck in PA for the winter cant wait to get back south :-[

 

Pappyman....just pictured firing the scoot with a flame shooting outta the pipes. <br>I need an appointment with &quot;Dr. Davidson&quot;, this cold weather and short days are givin' me the blues. [undecided]

 

;D I was able to visit the doc on sunday for about 4 hours.

BRDIESEL.
THHHHHHBBBBBBBBBBB :P
Man...... I can't wait for Spring

Pappyman, I've done Myrtle Beach before, but have never made Daytona.

 

Pulled in the driveway at 15:30 hours and plugged it in. It will stay plugged in for the duration. I figure that's cheap compared to another engine.

I did a little test and sure enough the block heater is not working. Pluged it in all night and nothing was warm at all. I had to use the grid heater threee time to get it to start. It white smoked almost all the way to school.<br>can I get the PN for the block heater. I will be needing to change it out for a new one here soon and yes the EX cord was working.<br>DM01
