Ok, so here is my problem.
The blazer starts great down to about 10, below that it takes a little more cranking but it will start. Around 0 though I can't start it. I was wondering if there is any way to get the to start down to -10 or maybe even -20 consistently. Now, the challenge is that it has to be done without an electric block heater. I am a high school swimmer, so I leave home at 5 in the morning, and start the truck again at 6 at night, so it's always a cold start. It is also parked outside 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and at home it's parked over snow. Is there any type of diesel fueled heater that I could install to make starting easier, I know someone on here has one of those arctic heater kits, but I don't know how hard those are to install in the truck. On a side note, the truck won't starrt right now without a jump start. It will crank a little on it's own but will never catch. It's like the starter is truning on and off very rapidly. The stater is still good because it start first turn with a jump. I think I have a bad battery.
Thanks,
