Its lonely being a ba$tard... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Actually, I got a bit of a start this morning (pun intended). I went out to start my truck, and it had hit low lows overnight, windchill was -40*c, and ambient was -30*c. (Remember, no more garage for me, till I build it someday hopefully soon.) I slogged through the snow to start up the beast, and it fired right up (can you say that with a diesel?). Anyways, I took it out of first (5 speed standard), and went to leave it in N position, so I could go in the house for a few minutes... I let my foot off the clutch, there was a little tiny movement forward, and STALL. The clutch was almost frozen - there was enough friction from the cold to stall the truck.

But I started it again and let it idle for a minute longer and I was able to take my foot off. I'll be leaving it in N on cold cold nights from now on. Shiver me timbers... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
