Woke up this morning and on my way to dealership to get an oil change in the Suburban at -9 degrees!

Only three more months of this.

I have a question.

"Where does the Sun stay"

Have not seen sun for a few weeks,very freaken gloomy.
Anybody seen the sun?

Today 27* feels like summer if the sun was out I'd be tanning in my back yard.
Now where's my thong?

Pete

Where does the sun stay? Right down here Pete

At the moment it's a little cloudy, but a perfect 73f. Bring that LT5 down here. 50's tonight! They sure do love that cold air

OH!...oh....Pete...that is SO wrong it hurts my imagination "eyes"

Just on a hunch, I thought I might check the antifreeze on the Z and Ami's C3. The Z was OK, but Ami's C3 tested good to only zero F. After removing enough antifreeze to add a gallon of straight antifreeze and re-testing, it was still "zero". Hmmmm???

More draining, another gallon and another test = NO CHANGE. Double HMMMMM & add a hearty WTF???

Turns out the chamber in the hydrometer (tester) has to be filled completely to read accurately. The bulb on my old hydrometer was sorta stiff with cold, and wasn't pliable enough to pull a full charge of fluid into the test chamber; hence the repeated "zero" reading, in spite of adding antifreeze.

The repeated "zero" reading made me suspicious, and after allowing the coolant to circulate (love the sound of a cammed SBC w/ side pipes) and after warming the hydrometer bulb with my heat gun, the test chamber filled completely. -34ºF is (according to the instructions on the meter) a 50/50 mix, and the the meter was pegged somewhere below -34ºF. The heater I bought and the thermal controller...will find another use, somewhere, (e.g. the snow blower?).

ONLY...about 80 days till Marc's BBQ!! Can't wait!!!

Paul,

I try to avoid starting my car on days this cold. I wait till at least the 30s (above zero), for oil circulation.

Thoughts anyone?

Oh and Pete does his best work in thong!
