The redline is for warm ups.

 

gotta hand it to toyota and nissan for making engines that can survive 200k mi of cold starts -> immediate abuse

I think ab it all the time in the sentra, with the CVT it is always cruising in the thousands of RPMs after cold start lol

 

@Empty_Lord, someone is selling a car just for you

 

Heading down the Eastern Sierras to mammoth so much snow for November.

 

I think it's also due to how far oils have come being able to function in such a violent and wide temperature environment. That said my AMG will tell me when the oil is up to temp and I keep my foot out of it until it's warm which can take 10-15minutes. The van I am trying to get a feel for. My brain tells me to baby it when it's cold, it needs to warm up before driving, but then again it's a 7.3 power stroke, it should be fine to start and drive gentle like any other car even when it's 20* out.

 

I cold started the 99 and 02 in negative temps and started driving immediately after tons of time. Park to 60 mph in less than 2 minutes



and then idol at the gas station to defrost some shit

 

Hmm. So the scammer who got my credit card information looks like they also looks like they signed up for a bunch of spam. I wonder if one of these shopping providers got hacked.

 

Some marine drives this. Decent paint job up close. Definitely parked my shitbox next to him.

 

Nice flares bro

 

I've seen how oil flows at those temps. I'll take my time, even if only makes me feel better.

 

@Speedytech7

The average cost of an OEM radiator for the LC; $361 sound about right?

Or is there a better setup to go with at that price point?

 

The best OEM rad for an 80 is the 93-94 one, it is the biggest they ever made, 4 core aluminum.

However if I was gonna replace mine right now I would get the TYC one. It's pretty universally recommended on Mud and is usually a reboxed Koyorad.

They aren't my problem now anyway


07 gets to warm up for a minute cause my lady doesn't like the cold too much

 

Such a gentleman. I know better than to not have a spot on the garage for my wife to park this time of year.

 

When you're making her get up at 1 am for a couple days in a row you gotta be nice

 

Isn't she pregnant too?

 

Let's hope not
