Re: another cold question...

Well with the spell of arctic weather we're having up in the northeast
everything in my car is running like s especially the transmission and power
steering. Right now my car makes a horrendous racket when I start it in the
morning and most definitely it comes from the ps pump since as I trun the
wheel it just gets louder. After it has warm up the noise is gone. Remember
all these components have some sort of fluid in them and I'd be surprised if
at the overnight temperatures we're talking about these fluids don't
'freeze' or at least firm up a bit. I can barely put it in any gear in the
morning so I just take my sweet old time getting it going in the morning.
