A couple weeks ago when it was like -5F for a few days, I tried to start my truck for the first time in a week and the gas lines were frozen. Like a drunk idiot, I gave it a second, and third try. Some smoke came from under the hood and I gave up.
One week later it's 50 outside so I start it up and it takes like 5-6 turn overs to finally get going, with inside dome lights going full-retard. This truck has been sitting in my driveway 6 months but has always started right up with 1-2 turns of the crank.
So it's been around 20 for a week and I go to start it... Very very weak turnover, lights flickering like crazy, won't start... Did I burn out my alternator?
