Been a while since I updated anything on this.
I should've taken my mechanic's advice about his Cruze freezing up in the winter seriously.
Temps got down to -16* on Wednesday and my Cruze wouldnt start after I got finished with work. Fuel gelled up. Had to call Roni to come pick me up. She had fun with that.
Took three days, almost a whole bottle of 911 and temps getting back up into the low 20*s for the darn thing to start again. So I learnt my lesson -- use anti-gel additive on every winter fuel up in this car. Sometimes you learn your lessons the hard way. I wish someone would come up with a fuel filter mod for these cars to move the filter up into the engine bay.
My truck, on the other hand....it hadnt been run in a couple weeks, and Im thinking, "Oh great." But I plugged the block heater in to warm it up a bit and threw the battery charger on it to hedge my bet. After a couple hours in the same -16 temps, it started, but it sure wasnt happy about it. It got a dose of anti-gel, just in case....
Ya know, other than that fuel line air leak on the trip to Missouri and the bad alternator wiping out a set of batteries a few winters ago, this truck has never let me down.
