Coldest Temps Your Ranger has seen?
The ranger struggled to start this morning at about 19 degrees, but with a little revving she fired right up. What's the coldest temperature you all have started your Rangers in?

Re: Coldest Temps Your Ranger has seen?
somewhere around -10 to -15 last year.
it was 6 degrees this morning. I let the 'ol girl warm up for about half an hour lol. funny thing is my ranger makes less of a fuss starting than the 2012 super duty at work, has the 6.2 gas engine and boy does the power steering pump shriek when it's this cold!

Our (Chevy) 6.0 gas is equipped with a block heater, but it only comes on when the temperature is in the negatives. It's never had a problem without the heater out hunting, but it's strange that it has to be that cold for it to be activated.

Yeah. Hopefully. Last time someone tried to start it after leaving it unplugged they drained the batteries. I've since got them charged back up and fixed a draw on the truck and put some battery tenders in it.

Re: Coldest Temps Your Ranger has seen?
