So this cold in the midwest is awful. Started the truck about 50 minutes before we left for daycare/work because the air temp in northern Minnesota is -40 right now! Anyways, all sorts of alarms started going off. The tire pressure, washing fluid and finally the check engine light came on. All of my fluid temps were in the norm. The accelerator was a little sluggish when I first hit it but it got back up to normal after about 50 yards. The check engine light didn't pop until I was on the highway. It's a 2014 1500 with the 5.7.
Hopefully something minor is just iced up but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about what it could be? If it is something serious, I'm sure I would have noticed it on the 30 minute drive. There's been tons of cars that have broken down in this cold but my truck has been a tank up until this point. It does fine in the -20-25 stuff. I'm stuck at work now but on my lunch break I'll take a look and see if there's any fluids leaking then I'm gonna take it to the auto parts store and see if they can read the code for me.
