I've drilled the washer fluid check valve, had the recall on the door latches completed (both the one they do when you don't complain, then the one they do after you complain), and had the rear window replaced due to the sliding portion not defrosting. After all of that, it seemed to handle the cold pretty well. I thought my battery was getting weak because of the auto start stop not working, but my truck sits a lot for long stretches. I drove it every day last week, which is very unusual for me. The auto start stop even worked at around 0°F once it got that hot 3 days into the polar vortex.
I saw -26 and -24 the next day. It started and drove great. I didn't get a pic of the -26, but these pics are 2 days in a row.
Heck.. I think it got down to almost 30 degrees one night/day here. People were going nuts!
For us here in Central Texas (Austin area) it's not been much of a winter. In the 70's during the afternoons this week. But I think will be high of about 45 on Friday. So, like normal, temps are all over the place, but it's just not getting much if the way of cold.
-26F a few times, subzero for highs, actually even with the celebrated Polar Vortex, really not much out of the normal. 45F and rain today. That's the way it's been for the last 7-8 years or so.
I didn't see anything because my doors were all froze shut all week LOL. My auto start stop doesn't work below 50, but you know that's normal according to the dealer... Jeep said -21 one morning, was not a pleasant drive, that cast iron block is slow to warm up compared to the eb.
