anybody freeze up this week?
 

i saw coolant in the snow this morning. apparently my coolant wasn't good to -11... i think i froze up but its a mild possibility it's a leak. either way it looks as good as it can being in the radiator. i'll investigate it maybe sunday. its supposed to be near 55 here.

We've had some of everything freeze here. Have broke some 26 yr low records.
We didn't have as much snow to deal with as you guys, only the cold temps.

Hope the anti-freeze drip is a minor leak, not worse.
Good Luck.

i meant an unrelated leak. i just re-read that, haha! of course it's a leak...

thanks for the well wishes. what was the lowest temp at your place? like i said, ours was -11 on that fateful night.

We cant compare man, I think the other day we tied an all time low of 16. Lowest I have seen it in DFW has been 10 in I think 1983

Been cold here too...it was like 42 for the overnight low, and only in the mid to high 70's all week

Was -21 here the other morning, my 05 fired right up and finally warmed up after about 20 minutes of sitting in the driveway. The 87 was inside my shop with all the heaters set on 70 though, so I know she was safe. The 84 I just bought, we checked it this evening when we drug it in to the shop, the antifreeze is nice and green in it so I'm hoping it did not freeze up.

Was very strange looking up at the outside temp that morning.... brrrrrrr.

lucky southerners, it was 30 below here in the north about a week ago. my 92 barely started even with the block heater plugged in.

-28 last week then wind chill down another 10+ degress yup sure been cold here
gas line anti freeze to make sure of starting
they even sell winter gas up here
you could crack the block if not enough anti freeze
check around the mounts if your concered
don't drive it,
if you can take fluid out,take out lots if you can
do so and replace with anti freeze,if there is too much thats easier to fix then frozen

Wow, -28, I cant imagine that cold. When I was young, we lived in Ohio and it got down below 0 many times, but I have been in Texas for 30+ years and I can deal with the 100+ temps in the summer better than the cold there.

maybe we need to measure in Kelvin or K
-29C =-18F or 245.15K
sounds warmer already lol

so far so good here in SW oklahoma . plug the diesel in for a couple of hours in the mornings but still struggles a little before turning over . i plug it in at work 4 hours before i leave so i got instant heat when i drive home .

Re: anybody freeze up this week?
 

-35 to -50 windchill here in NE week before last, -25 to -30 last week. Had to replace the battery, cold weather sucked the juice right out of it. Did have abit of colant on the ground too but everything checked out ok and temp gauge reading normal.
