Nice picture of your truck, Bob. I hope its antifreeze was up to stength. Er, what is it? I can't quite make it out. I reckon you'll have some cleaning and ignition drying to do when the thaw comes  OTOH you might eventually tell us it started first turn of the key  PeterW |

It is a 1987 Dodge Dakota P/U.
I started it about 10 days ago.....being carburated (not F.I.)
in this extreme cold----here is the starting procedure:
1) turn on ignition---let the after market electric fuel pump run for 2 min.
2)pump accelorator 10 times.
3)turn key.
And it started right up and idled---no problem! ;D
Since then we have gotten another two feet of snow.
Due to the ice and snow---it has not gone for a ride in about 3 weeks now....but whenever the ice and snow is pretty much gone...she be moving down the road again.

Bob,
At least the pigeons aren't using it for target practice.
