Cold weather Tacoma's

I saw on the news this morning that it is unusually cold for this time of year in the midwest and back east and I guess its gonna last through the entire week..............how are your trucks holding up in this weather?.........Hard starts,door lock problems,etc................let us know.................Thanks!.......................

 

Original 5 yr old battery starting to get weaker. Clutch pedal a little slow and sticky. But a few pumps to loosen. Otherwise fine.

 

Yea, just the original battery is getting a little weaker, but still working ok. It was 4 degrees here this morning.

 

a little hard to start yesterday morning after sitting outside in -6 or so. huge complaint is lack of heated mirrors, espcially with the ice we've had this year. Otherwise, been pretty happy with my '10, it warms up fast and works pretty well in snow with a little weight on the back.

 

yes the water temp on my scangauge is some mornings @ 5am.
It takes a long time to come up to 182 degrees & seriously does not do it some days since I am less than 5 miles to work.
I let it warm up a little longer or drive a bit til it reaches temp.
Other than that no issues, some creaking as Ben said.

 

No issues, it runs great, starts warming the cabin within a mile and half. I run 5-30 full syn oil. New Interstate battery installed the other week. Yes, it's fockin cold out!!

 

maybe try putting a warmer thermostat in the truck for the winter?

 

Not as cold as other places here in SC but still colder than normal (34 today). However, I was in NJ for almost two weeks which includes driving through that blizzard to get there and theonly negative effect I've seen is a creak or two in the interior.

 

No noticeable changes here. I am in some pretty cold weather too. Anywhere between 5-28 degrees lately.

 

clutch pedal gets squishy on these bone cold days

 

Been sub-zero the past few days in MN and have had no problems whatsoever.

 

Runs like a champ, been below freezing here for past several weeks. Couldn't say the same for my almost brand new Sierra.

 

Mine does that too...

 

I dont see how you guys stand weather that's below 10 degrees.

It's about 20 - 22 degrees here in georgia and Im bout to get frostbite on my balls.

 

hah - I thought that was because I'm pushing 260lb's!

Maybe it's just the truck / cold weather...

 

No issues. Clutch pedal is a bit firm when you first get in, but after the truck warms up and the fluid gets moving, it goes back to normal. Stock tranny fluid isn't that great anyway.

When we're in single digits or negatives, you can tell it cranks a bit slower but always starts right up, no problem.

 

thank you

 

I had a few issues last year when I parked outside. First i did have probs with the locks, the key fob would not work and i almost broke the key off in the door. Ended up just having to leave doors unlocked. The other issue I had was sometimes i would start it up and all the gauges would peg out, had to turn it off and back on (that was at -20/-50 degrees. And the last issue I had was, and I just posted on another thread but, the check engine light would come on when I plugged the trk in. I contacted the corp, the dealer and other taco owners around here with no avail to the problem.. Anyways just a few from AK.

 

Hopefully! haha, tho I was told it could be there's dirt/rocks in the leaf springs? But mine only does it noticeably when it's cold
