Just picked up a deuce in nj at mcguire afb in 4* weather--it took 2 hours to get on the base--we had to wait for an escort who turned out to be sitting across from us in a crowded waiting room--i called him on his cell phone to see where he was and heard a phone ring--it was him---he asked where our tow truck was and i pointed to my ford escort wagon--he then called his boss and the boss wanted to know where the tow truck was--i told him we were going to try to drive it off the base and the boss said come on in-- installed 2 good batteries--filled up the brakes--checked the oil--added antifreeze--dumped in 2 bottles of winter fuel treatment--turned on the power--pressed the start button and it started---very very lucky--bought the truck without seeing it--drove it home doing 25mph until the flat spots in the tires smoothed out and then 48mph--only had to go 35 miles--no heat in the truck but glad it kept running --surprised it started in 4* weather ---what is the lowest temp your truck started in--george
