UPDATE. I went over first to check the level of protection. -10 was the protection level. Plugging in the block heater that had been installed years ago wasn't going to protect the heater core, or rad. So I cleared away the foot of snow so I could drained the radiator. Filled the rad with just antifreeze before starting. Then ran the engine up to operating temps. Thanks for the post. It's probable a little over the 50/50 mix as to antifreeze. If it is. What affect will that have? I always run 50/50 mix in everything. So I just never knew what happened below the protection level. Love this site with it's members. Bob Dunahugh

I've never thought about this before. The neighbor that lives across the street is serving in the Middle East now. I got an e-mail from him about his truck that's sitting outside. He thinks the antifreeze is at +5. Our highs for this next week are to be between -2 to -10. Nights to be between -12 to -25. Not relevant to this. The wind chills are expected to be between -20 to -35 for the day. -20 to possible -40 at night. My GMC is inside at +70. I'm going to go play with the GMC for the next week. Stay warm my friends.
