was -10 this morning here in Ames. My car starts fine, but man, if the trans is cold 1st and 2nd are HARD to get into. Once it's warmed up they're fine.

Do you realize how much I loathe you Jeff??? lol
Yeah, I had to replace my battery too. My old one was shitting out anyway and couldn't handle the cold. It was -16 without windchill tonight and I tell you what, when I start my car after it has been sitting for a little while it sounds AWFUL!! Belts squealing and it just runs ULTRA rough. I hate to hear my poor baby suffer like that! And the shifting is really harsh until the transmission warms up. I live in MN too.

change your trannyoil and you'll love 1st and 2nd gear on cold starts again
-16 Today, started and ran great, except idle is rough, bounces between 500 and 1000/rpm.
Yesterday (-9) It was beeping (MPH) at me for some reason, but the problem seems to have went away after shutting the car off and restarting it.
Two other problems I have had were the door wouldn’t open from inner handle after using the lock(had to open the window and hit the outer latch), and the radio display was F'd up twice. Both problems seem to fix themselves when the car is shut down an restarted though lol... how the door wouldn’t open until I shut the car off and restarted it is COMPLETLEY beyond me.

It was about -5 this morn. Turned on my car to warm it up. Came back out about 10 min. later and a big temperature symbol was displayed on my center lcd.. So I hurry up and checked my rad fluid everything was filled. I had no time to waste or I was going to be late for work so off I went. About after 10min of driving the temp display went away and everything was back to normal.. Any idea what that could have been. I know it was not too smart of me driving with the temp gauge on but everything seems fine.. By the way first time it ever did this..
I guess i'm not the only one then..Haha..outside rite now it -19 WITHOUT i repeat without windchill..soo add a few...then add a few more....daM* its cold...approx with windchill its -32..my 2.8l started with a bit of problem then morning..the usual 1st - 2nd gear hard to get in..but after warmed up...man I had fun with drifting left and right..[8D]
Cold weather Sucks
