Due to the warm weather we had sense my last visit the start stop has been working for 3 days. Took it in today and told them that the system is working for now. They agreed there was no sense in leaving it there for the day being that there is technically nothing wrong. It’s been documented and we will be seeing if the issue returns with the cold weather. It’s been mid 30s all week and tonight it’s going to drop to -16 and a high of 5 tomorrow and back into the negatives again tomorrow night. I am certain the condition will return with the cold. My best guess is that the def heater is drawing the battery down keeping things from freezing. Once the battery is depleted to a certain point the def heater is cut off and that is what led to my frozen def last week. So the saga continues. I’m debating on a battery tender and block heater. Or to just buy a winter rat and store the gladiator every winter. I could lease a Subaru and only run it in winter, keep the salt and miles off my rig lol. Drastic measure for a simple problem haha.
I just added this to my JTD.... https://no.co/genius2d
My battery will get really low when I drive my Subaru too much. Sponsored
