    Sure did..
    They seem to work as long as the mercury stays above ~30°f..

    I unhooked the lines going into the motor under the hood, & then turned the dash valve wide open to blow them out. Didn't see any junk or water.? Then added some store bought air line antifreeze as I wasn't carrying any alcohol. Repeated this process twice. Then added some wd40 as an emergency lubricant. At around 20°f, 10 miles down the road nothing. Sit idle for 5 mins & they'd come back to life..!

    I backed my following distance way off to try avoid spray from other vehicles, but you know how that goes. :rolleyes: People love to cut in on a truck real close..

    One day was about 35°f & rained from Indianapolis clear to Kansas City.. Must have run the wipers 7-8 hours no issue.. :dontknow:

    I'm just gonna put a new motor, & new dash valve, change the air dryer cartridge & hope for the best.!

    I'm doing a yard check then taking an empty down to our Laredo yard. To swap with a loaded one to move up here. Then at 0330. I'm picking up a Tyson load going to the communist state. They don't have a new appointment for my other load yet. So leaving it at the drop yard for a local driver.

    If you get it running, leave a sink run slow till the temps come back up. Running water won't freeze.

    Well we are a level 3, 12 American degrees. If I have to guess from the couch we got about 12 American inches. No place to go so ill get it cleaned up as soon as I have had my fill of coffee. Wind really picked up last night. Called to check on mom. She has 3-5 American foot drifts. Looks like its gonna go below 0 tonight. Oh well.

    Any of you guys out in it, be safe.
