Yeah I let it prime fully. The cold was affecting the ignition switch itself. Contacts. Just a heads up to someone that has same ISSUE Maybe

Funny. Never had an issue ever (minus the one time my battery was dead but that's the battery not the truck) until today. it was roughly around 2 (wind chill was too damn cold) though the day before it was 30's

She will spin and spin but not fire. She tries with all her might but nothing other than maybe a puff or two.

Could this be caused by a batch of bad gas? (Say the water levels were higher or something and froze the injectors or something? Because I could get maybe a piston to fire but not get enough in sequence to fire to get her rolling) Or do you guys think its something more serious? I ask because I've never had the issue or any sign of issue until today. I will add this is right after a road trip where the last fill up was at a random gas station along the way.

I brought her into the garage tonight (normally she's not a house pet) and have the space heaters set up around her to see if thawing will fix the problem. Update in the morning I guess
