The past week or so it has been cold in Maryland. Not cold like it gets in the rest of the country, but cold for us. I'd say it gets in the mid to high teens at night. 20s during the day.
When my truck has been parked outside I notice it cranks a little longer before starting in the morning. Still starts fine, just seems to turn over twice as long before it catches.
Twice in the past week I have noticed my center console digital clock is reset back to factory defaults (24 hour instead of 12, and the wrong time).
Does this have something to do with my battery or the cold weather? Other than that morning start, I have no other signs of a bad battery, although I realize it could be that. (I'm at 88K, battery was replaced under warranty once back in the first 30K I think.) I thought that perhaps my battery is dropping down below whatever voltage is needed to keep the clock running. Sounds odd to me, but that's all I can come up with....
Thanks!
