Once you get them open again, clean the rubber and apply some silicone spray to them, rubbing it in.

 

This! I used canola oil cooking spray on my driver's door on my DD, worked perfectly. I thought canola oil might be safer for the rubber, but probably not.

My jeep runs great in this weather but doesnt want to get any hotter than 197* ish. Might have a thermostat issue.

 

Got a new Interstate MT2 700CCA about 2 months ago, but haven't had any issues, starts right up. Its been in the -'s here the last three days.

 

197ish is about right aint it? Mine was straigth up at 210 since i bought it, but I noticed shortly after I did my exhaust mani that it wasn't heating up pretty much at all. I replaced my thermostat maybe three months ago with a stant premium and I think it works great. The one side of the old one was snapped and I think leaving it open. It occassionally reaches 210, but usually says like a sliver before it. Thats normal aint it?

 

It appears that this morning I may have broken my rear passenger door linkage. Rained and then flash froze

 

Doing well in the cold weather. Doesn't it look nice and warm under that blanket?

 

Factory stats are the best. Stants are a bit spotty in quality.

 

Not, but if it works, who cares. Silicone is actually great on rubber.

 

I should have waited for the dealership to open, but it needed to be done. Haha. I was driving it like that for a couple months. Would a had to wait 2 whole days for the dealership, and they still prolly would of had to order it.

 

Ah, you're doing okay. At least it's not opening WAY too soon or something.

 

mine is fine. a little sluggish at -18 ambient, but what do you expect ? it fires up and runs fine. I did put a small piece of cardboard over my giant aftermarket trans cooler. I feel like the 0 - -20 ambient air might not let the fluid warm up like it should. so glad I flushed the heater core. xj dragon heat ftw.

 

mine fired right up...it was 74 degrees today had to turn the AC on..sorry I just had too. Seriously I do feel for you guys in the deep freeze right now..I am sure it is not fun

No starting or performance problems. Came right up the steep driveway. Only got down to 9 degrees f. No below zero.

 

My Interstate fires her up in -6 degrees like it would if it were 76 degrees.

 

Its been around -20 here for a couple of days,it rolls over a little slower than normal but does start,and in this weather my temp has been lower also,but warm enough for me,I love my Jeep!
