I have a few small issues that were recently brought on by the cold weather and snow we are receiving in my neck of the woods.
The first Issue I noticed about a week ago, and maybe not so coincidentally, the morning after a snow fall. I had my parking brake set over night, and the next morning when I went to drive it, the parking brake wouldn't disengage all the way. The pedal could move freely, but the cable was stuck part way pulled out still. I got it to disengage after it had warmed up outside some, and I engaged and disengaged the parking brake a few times. Now, this same thing happened again yesterday morning, after another snow. It hadn't happened any of the other nights when it got cold, but did this time after a snowfall again. Except, It hasn't warmed up to above freezing since then, and I can't get it to disengage again. What could be the cause of this?
Second issue, This was also noticed yesterday on my 250 mile trip home. My heater works fine, blows warm air, except It will not blow air on your feet, when feet only is selected, it still blows all its air to the defroster. Is the air vane in there electronic, or is it just on a lever?
And finally, also noticed on my 250 mile round trip yesterday, My truck didn't get up to operating temperature. It hovered at around 180 to 185 the whole time, which isn't that bad, but it was only 25 out yesterday, and I am expecting to see much colder as the winter goes on. I would like a snap on grill cover of some sort, just wondering if anyone has had any luck with any of these in the past.
Thanks for the advice.
I am logging some good miles on WVO, and the temperature doesn't seem to be an issue so far. My heated system is working great!
