let's talk extreme
I went snowmobiling friday night and road for about 12 hours, once it got dark out it got down to -36 and we continued to ride till 4 am , slept for 3 hours and did another 200 miles and it was -20 all day. needless to say I got a little sick, spent sunday in bed.
P.S. sorry shane, but I was in no condition to ride sunday. |
Where did you ride?

tug hill

I think my tag line below sums that up nicely.

I spent about 4 hours on Saturday pulling one out of the river. Then another 3 hours to get it running. Guess the ice isn't all that thick.

:eek:
Bummer! |
We rode next to the hill out by Excavators house. I was real close to thinking the next truck was going to be a diesel......nope, frozen fuel sucks in my book.
It is hard to believe what will freeze solid at those temps. Bungee cords were as elastic as steel cable. |
Actually the diesel doesn't freeze. It forms a crystal that will plug up the fuel filter. Change the filter and it will run for a while. Of course the real solution is a fuel heater, the correct fuel and/or a conditioner.
I've heard of something simular happening to the snowmobiles. The only thing is that they will either not run (fuel filter) or will seize (oil filter). |
cord my salution would be to beat the phuck out of the truck unil i broke something or hurt myself, then i would hit it with a hard object like a rock, then i would try to kick my snowmobile and fall on my ass and then i would be really pissed cuz i would be cold , hurt, my truck wouldn't run and I would be out a few g's in repair bills, and all my friends would be laughing hystericly.

If I were stranded outside trying to get my new diesel running in that cold my reaction would have been more like Hugetimes.... Im not sue weather the tuck is equiped with a fuel heater but it did have the conditioner. My 5.3 Vortec started right up although I ordered a spare belt today because when it started the belt was frozen and didnt budge for about 2 seconds. Awful screeching noise and I could see them breaking under these conditions. |
