    This--- and windchill has no effect on non-living things. If it is 10 degrees with a negative 20 windchill, your battery is still 10 degrees.

    Not actual AIR (ambient) Temp. But the faster you move air across your skin (more cfm) the faster evaporation takes place which is your bodies natural cooling system. Latent heat of vaporization.

    I washed it outside with temps barely above 32. Rubber gloves and a bucket of warm soapy water made it tolerable.

    Then I pulled it in the garage and dried it with "The Absorber" chamois from Advance Auto. It worked awesome and I almost felt like Vince doing a commercial.

    Then I looked at my door ding and what I thought was a chip was really just paint that rubbed off the offender's door. Cleaned that off and you can barely tell there is a weak dent left. I'll pop that out someday...

    Then I replaced my chrome grille with a color matched one, taking before and after pics. Can't decide for sure but I think I like it better without the chrome.

    Just saw a guy riding around with a Red DCSB lifted Chrome wheels and he's NOT a member here. I told him and his girl they need to join up and re retorted he Lurks.

    I need to clean up a little of the overspray derp on the tires and wash it....

    and then dip the little grey plastic under the grill piece and I'm done.

    I'm stoked. "baby truck, baby truck, I've got a baby truck" haha don't know why I've had that in my head all day.

    Thanks, it'll be interesting to see how many gallon per hour a 4.0 can process!

    Towing?
    12mpg is not unheard of, so at 70mph, you could be close to 6gph.

    Still a minimum 3 hours between fuel stops. My wife's bladder can't make it that long.

    And all this time I thought you were getting them and not giving them! :eek:

    I was so happy! What I thought was a bad door ding turned out to be almost nothing once I washed the truck and really checked it out.
