Mr Lambert When I worked in north central Canada in early 1950's we had -70 for almost 3 weeks with warming to -55 in the day. also replaced 9 engines in the trucks for the 90 days we were in the "woods" Cheers NC



I'll bet that it was a real picnic. I worked on cars and light trucks in Anchorage but our shops were warm. We did keep an old oil drain pan with charcoal in it to warm the oil pans so we could start them. Found out that you didn't do it on an oil leaker!


There was two people whose job was to move vehicles when not in use to keep them use-able, more than 3 hours you could wear the tires off towing but they would not move on their own, trans. and rear rend froze up solid.. Cheers NC


don't judge until you have walked a mile in other persons' moccasins'
