that was posted before, do any of you Canadian's or state's folks in cold
climates find your trucks hard to crank when it's sat overnight in the
cold??? My truck will fire up and run on the first crank but it cranks
really, really slow...
Tom,
First off, I have only cleaned my throttle body two times(117,000 miles)and
it has never had hard times starting or runnning in cold temps. I did not
even clean all the TB sensors either, just a quick shot of TB cleaner down
the bored. This last week and this week the lows are between 0-10 a night,
no problems. What is the CCA rating of your battery? I have a Champion 4x4
battery; it has 4 posts, a CA(32 degrees and warmer) of 1000 and CCA(-20
degrees to +32 degrees) of 900. I love this battery, cant beat it for a mere
$40. I have had it for 3+ years now with no problems; even with all my extra
amp drawing accessories. Stock batteries are poor, if you still have it
anyways.....
