    We are headed to the western side, somewhere near Hamilton. Hoping to find work in that general vicinity. Missoula is about 60 miles north, that might be my only option.

    Hi all, looking for heat/AC controls for a 05+ taco, anybody know of a junkyard or someone parting out a 2nd gen? My truck has been pretty cold this week...

    Tried af and t, and green meadow in Helena, no luck. I've been bundling up and scraping lots of ice to say the least...

    Mine didn't struggle exactly, but it was sure sluggish. Made me a little nervous a couple times.

    Yup. Cold will do that. Toy sounded like crap all week and was a little reluctant to start after work (I keep him in a garage and have a block heater so overnight at home he's fine). Everything was squealing and clicking and I thought the whole engine was just going to implode on itself.

    Block heaters and good batteries will help if you have to park outside.

    It is. I will never live in a place that I can't have a garage. I'm spoiled :eek:

    The lowest it has been (so far) was -20.2F and no problem starting. All I use is temperature compensated Battery Tender Plus battery charger quick connected to my healthy battery and 0-20W Mobile One synthetic oil. The charger keeps the battery fully charged, which keeps it from freezing and producing more cold cranking amps. The oil allows the engine to turn over faster. I take mostly short trips (< 10 miles) so the battery does not have a chance to fully recharge will driving, especially in this weather. So far, I have not had a problem with the OEM Costco gas icing. I keep my tank at least half full for better traction and condensation from forming.

    For more information and tips on car batteries, please see the Car and Deep Cycle Battery FAQ on www.batteryfaq.org.

    Goooood night! I know it's cold up there ( I grew up in the Midwest ) and I expect some some very cold weather when we move that way, even colder than I grew up with. But -20deg by the second week of December already? This is normal for you all huh?

    Definitely not normal. We usually get a cold snap in January or February but never in December. I think this winter will be unique and we're going to see lots of negative temps.

    I have to run 10w-40 due to the S/C and with this 600 CCA battery I just got a hold of due to my other one taking a dump my pickup is not happy turning over in this cold... I might be making use of my block heater for the first time ever.
