There is another guy up there that looks like the jolly old man that comes around in December that has a really good thread on alternative heaters as
he sufferes from the same "extended" winter as you. His truck is red in color with a really neat engine that he installed.
It's really really great to have you here. Perhaps you can sooth yourself by reading the "Bibles" that need to come with these wonder green machines.
Start off with the Lube Order (read at least three times) and then then perhaps to the -10 and then the -20 and then on as you see fit.
Almost all the manuals are available on this web site in the oder version under resources. There are many threads on oils and other topics including improvements and customizations that owners have performed.
You can also buy the CD version on e-bay quite often as well as some other vendors that sell them in paper too.
Perhaps you will be able to get your own Christmas Present later this month.
Look at the tools that you may need and start building your "Recovery Kit" too. Small steps, one at at time will get you on the road.
I called today and got an appt. to do my other recovery in Bordentown, NJ tomorrow. Hopefully it will go smoothly. The Knox truck runs awesome, my wife even drove it yesterday!
