Yea Rich, it is a nasty one out. I get to drive 245 miles a day every day this week in this stuff. I hope my battery holds out. I know my MPG is going to go DOWN. But back to the reason Im here. I did an oil change after 8k miles, and brake pads and rotors all the way around. Its so smooth when I stop now, I love it.

New brakes are nice.

Started the truck... its -10°F outside, Winchill of -31°F. Good to know the battery is good enough to start the truck well when its this cold. But damn, its terrible out there. I realllyyy need to find a way to lube this ignition lock cylinder. or put in a new one, when its below 10 degrees or so, it does not want to come out of "start for a fraction of a second keeping the starter engaged, unless you hold onto it and once its started you help it to "run"
BRRR ITS COLD!

So yesterday i was in the drive thru getting some foods. All of a sudden i had a weird stumble going on in my blazer. sorta like a random misfire every 5 seconds or so. Almost wanted to stall. I got back to the shop and tinkered with it. Pulled the cap and the little brass terminals were corroded pretty bad. I cleaned em up some with a file and a flathead screwdriver. No more stumbling and idles perfect....Im such a cheap ***.
