ok Andy, James and I are going to get a heater (I may still replace the
battery to see if that helps) but we are still going to get one for our
daks...which do you think is better, in the hose or like mopar's on the
bottom of the engine... both about the same price...

Are you still on the original battery Tim? I have the heavy-duty package
on my V8 and haven't had trouble with starting, even after sitting
