Well the block heater issue is expected. It's the dummies that use the cheap fuel or have some nig-rigged setup and everything freezes up. Get towed in, sit in the shop for a few hours some decent fuel in them and the old crap flushed out and they're fine. It's just a PITA, but I've grown to love the primer on the dirtymax fuel filters. This is also why I call them diseasels. They're the shit until something goes wrong, then it usually goes real wrong.

man thats super cold were going nuts here in the valley with 36 degree weather
Eh, that's a heat wave. I was just back home in WI for a few weeks and for most of the time it was well below zero. Only hit -30 this year when I was home. Last year I had to jump start all the vehicles in the parking lot at work when it was -50. Mine was the only one that cranked over...didn't even have it plugged in.

That's not too bad, come up here and you'll see what cold is!It was -30F this morning with the windchill, -15F ambient.

No offense, but why would anyone in their right mind live somewhere where it is that cold and miserable? Heck, it has been unusually cold here (high 20s during the day, mid teens for the low) and it has sucked real bad. You can't do anything outside, which forces you inside--which makes your options limited. Just sayin.That's not too bad, come up here and you'll see what cold is!

That's one of the reasons why I moved to AZ from WI. After a -50* winter I was sick of it. Absolutely froze me to the bones because after more than a minute outside I thought I was going to die and I had to be outside for quite awhile. Now I just have to put up with 120* summers which also forces you inside...but it's worth it to have 70* winters.No offense, but why would anyone in their right mind live somewhere where it is that cold and miserable?
