Haha I could do it at work but I prefer doing things like that at home. On a warmish day that is.

I'm surprised a parts store would carry it. Rockauto doesn't even have it.

Also what plug does it go into from the factory?

[ItHurtz]

My car doesnt make any noises, just goes to "instant" warm idle rpm haha.

95 f150 and the 97 chevy 3500 those make some noises like you squeezed a goose for a few seconds. I will try and refrain from trying to start those monday just to spare them the abuse, I wont even try my car it doesnt even start in 0 sitting for a few days so I know its dead already.

From the NAPA site:


Important Information:
Core Location = Front Right Hand Side
Removable Electrical Plug End

id see if the one on the other side is easier to get to with the starter off. starter is way easier to get off vs the a/c.

[02NavyBlue]

I would check, but my car is being buried in the snow.

I did see what napa said about the location, but was wondering if someone here can confirm (that has one from the factory)

Its -20 outside, -40 to -45 with windchills.

Gunna reach near -30 where I live, colder up north to -50, plus the windchill and it's balls cold.

It was -21 or -22 when I left for work this morning, felt like -45 lol.

I had the car plugged in for 2 days, started the beast right up, tires were all squared from sitting and every bump was hard as hell with such a stiff car.

[02NavyBlue]

Did the snow for the 3rd time in 18 hours. In the first pic the snow was taller than the snowblower, yet it still plowed through it lol. I did have to go back and pick up the remaining snow that went over top of it. BTW the height of the snowblower is over a foot tall (12.7 in) That happened in between the 2nd and 3d time clearing the snow, mostly from drifts though.



This is all the snow from the sidewalk and our side of the street. It stands pretty tall, not sure exactly but I should somehow check. Still no snow plow trucks after the 9-10 inches we got all day yesterday.

[Scottydoggs]

soon your driveway will be a tunnel lol

thats a good pile of snow too.

mine all melted with the rain last night and today. only thing left is some of the larger piles from the plows.

[02NavyBlue]

Oh lucky. Not a chance of it melting any time soon here, although Friday is supposed to get to 36°F. Tomorrow will apparently be worse than today. Right now it's 0°F (and extremely windy), and that's tomorrow's high. I'm going to work tomorrow sadly, and cold starting my car at -7°F (-21°C)

Fun fun fun

I will record it, lets see if my p/s whine was related to me turning the wheel with it off before starting it. That was the only odd noise it made at 2°F

Here the 2° startup http://s760.photobucket.com/user/com...coded.mp4.html

thats ice cold power steering fluid. as it warms up it stops.

[02NavyBlue]

It's brand new fluid since late summer so I'm sure it helps over the nasty original stuff that was in it. All burnt smelling and worn out. I was joking about synthetic power steering fluid but now I'm curious.

Redline/Amsoil/royal purple makes it. I suppose since it's compatible I could use full synthetic Dex VI and that would count. I'm not worried about it though.

[Alix0r]

Well i cant say that we are that cold here in GA but its pretty damn cold right now lol thats pretty cold for down here though
