...now that it's f'ing freezing out, make sure to re-check your tire pressures! Checked mine this weekend, my tires were at 28 pounds instead of 32. The car rides -much- better now.

 

Good point. TomP
Also check anti-freeze.

 

damn ! Im glad you guys reminded me !!!!

 

actually I always check the most important thing(as far as your butts concerned) The THERMOSTAT!

 

Yep check the thermostat it for sure. We worked on my car a few weeks back and found out mine was in 4 pieces. No clue how long it had been busted. The car always ran cool. Though I did notice, I barely had any heat last season. We put in the 160 and car stays at like 130 now. Crazy, but I did have heat pretty quick today.

 

thanks guys i forgot aoubt lookin at my tire pressure...also now a good time to do an oil change before winter sets in. if your running heavy oil its a good idea to switch to a lighter one so your not pumpin sludge all over the place on cold days. i normally run 10 30 in summer and drop to 5 30 in winter.
