Re: Brrrrr it's cold! Damn cold is right!
I ask a lot of my Bronco and she didn't. Fail me this morning at -18, fired right up =) _________________ A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves. (0======0) |

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! Awesome! I don't have a doubt that mine would fire if I had a good battery...hmm I need to start a new thread.

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! The colder it gets, the more finicky mine is to start. I always have to start it 2 or 3 times unless I keep pumping it slightly, but once it's run for 20 seconds it can keep running. If I try to just take off, it's gutless for the first 3 minutes and will stall if I don't use fairly high revs from a stop. Once it's warmed up it runs great.

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! It was -8 at my house and the old goat fired right up. The tranny (NP435) was pretty difficult to shift for the first couple of miles, but after that I was good. But put it this way, it was so cold this morning, I had to go out to the east side of town & in a 10 minute span, my coffee went from piping hot to cold and within 30 minutes of sitting in the car outside the vet, it was starting to freeze.

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! They were saying a water bottle would freeze solid in less than a half hr.
Then there's the 48 they're calling for on Saturday... _________________ 1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow. http://www.ucora.org |

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! My Bronco with no top or doors, will be staying quietly parked in my garage today. If there was a foot or two of snow and I had the ARBs wired I'd be out in it for sure. I'm hoping for one of those massive 3 foot storms in March after I've had a little more time to get my truck rehabbed.

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! You said it. I always enjoy a chance to confirm to my neighbors that I'm nuts...

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! Justin - do you ever run down Jordan road? I saw some crazy dude in a Bronco w/no top, if it wasn't you then I'm chasing him down next time to invite him into the club.

Re: Brrrrr it's cold! Not so far. Other than a run to the Thornton Costco last weekend my Bronco has yet to make it out of the Frederick/Firestone area under my ownership. Still test driving to find the bugs.
