I started both the primary vehicles this morning. The truck fired right up but the car was noticeably slower than normal turning over. It hadn’t been started since Friday I think. It fired up as well though. Don’t think because you have a new vehicle it’s immune, that’s a 2018. Clearer all the snow off the truck and drove to road and back twice to beat down a path. About 200 yards. 4x4 was poor, had to engage the electric lockers. I will revise to 8” of accumulation.

I started my vehicles and let them run yesterday and today. I'll probably start them again this evening. Each time I started them they all cranked noticeably slower than normal.

Is there a reason to start your cars in this weather? I’m snowed in for a few days so won’t be going anywhere.

So it will start when you need it later. The cold will kill the batteries.

Either good to start them every so often or puta charger on them, the cold or big temp changes is hard on batteries. They will crank some slower no matter what as they are pumping thicker oil and battery generally has less power cold.

Did you add anti gel to it? Use the block heater? Mine fired right up at -1 this morning but I had the block heater going all night and had anti gel in it.

Put the additive in mine. Will try again a lil later.
Wifeypoo’s diesel fired right up. She said if I wreck it, she will buy a nicer one. Think I’ll stay put.

I didn’t have to go to work today. Boss texted and said stay put. If he says come in I’ll give it a whirl then.

Haven’t tried to start mine yet, but about to. I put Howe’s in it yesterday and let it run for 30 min after. About to find out.
