This Weather Sucks

[86ComancheXNate]

My truck hates the cold. Its a super pita to start in the morning and then it stalls out several times of the course of the ride.

 

Is there anything I could do to eliminate this?

[87Warrior]

TBI or carb?

 

If carb, does your choke work?

He's got the carbed 2.8L.

 

are you letting it fully warm up before you take off and drive? I realize my 86 is a big pile of crap, but I gotta let it warm up first or else it's undriveable.

 

 

(and that's funny. :D "the cold". :rotf: )

[87Warrior]

How are the chokes on those 2.8s operated?

 

I had similar issues with my old 4.2 YJ. Replaced the vacuum diaphragm and she ran great in the cold, with exception of the piston slap....

 

And yeah, its only down to the 20s down there isn't it?

Just noticed his location. :D

 

I had just assumed it was northern midwest and ~0* temps.

[86ComancheXNate]

hey its freezing down here. It might not be anything like up north but its usually in the 70's during the day during this time of year.

 

My truck probably wouldnt even function up north.

It's really cold here...high about 55, low about 45, there was even some dew on my lawn...brrrr!! I had to run my heater today. Sorry about it being such cold and miserable weather out there.

-8 wind chill yesterday. :yes: or was that the day before? they all just blur together when you don't go outside unless the house is on fire. and then you don't too far, cause fire is warm.

It was 9 degrees here (actual temp, not wind chill) yesterday morning, and again evening after a high temp of 16. battery in the MJ is not liking it, starter in Booger is not liking it (may have to replace again, it's only a month or so old) and Sparkles is not going anywhere being 2wd on slicks.

 

The Pig (MJ) is not the best in snow either. My big wide road tires like to float on top of the snow and slides all over the place. 4wd can't be used when I need to be able to make turns because of the front locker.

[ParadiseMJ]

... fire is warm.

 

 

Stay by the fire
