I tried out my new toy today for the first time since i got her home.For those just tuning in it is a 03' ls170 Alright when i got her home friday and unloaded her it was like 25F out and it was fine had to glow it twice to start on the trailer.Well I thought i would use it to move some hay bales to my barn.well it is only 12f degrees out.I had to glow it quite a few time to get her to start.I let her run for a while to warm up.Backed her out of the shop turned it around and started driving to the barn.went about 800ft and she started to bog down.I let up on the sticks and slowed the throttle.the idle came back up.took off again went out to another barn loaded up some hay in the bucket.drove to the stable ,and it tried to bog down again.I stopped let the power come back up ,and then went on into the barn.I put the hay away left it running.The engine temp was running around 167 - 170F.Oh yeah that heater is nice in the cab.Took her back down to the house and it slowed down and died.restarted fine went the rest of the way to the shop.I put her to full throttle and started to drive and it went 20' and started to bog down again.slowed the throttle down and she was fine. I put her in the shop(which isn't heated) I checked the temp on the hydraulics on the dash ,and it just said "cold" still.how long does it take to warm up the hydraulic oil? I wondered if my problems might be either cold hydraulic fluid,or maybe the desiel fuel was trying to freeze up at the faster rpm's.I don't know if there is any additives in the fuel or not it was full when i picked it up. Anybody have any problems like this in the cold? Thanks Aaron</p></blockquote><p></p>
