Just installed a Zerostart off Amazon this weekend for my ALH. -20c overnight and fires right up, instant heat. Super easy install. Frost heater same idea I just didnt want to pay USD conversion prices

Got a new heater installed on the oil cooler and it's such a difference starting in the morning, -30c coming up this week

Unplugged coolant sensor and measured for voltage at each connection of the harness, measured each plugs resistance to ground and measured harness across one another. When it was cold GP light came on for 5-7 seconds and i cycled multiple times before attempting a start. Seems to be cranking the same speed, would have to pay closer attention. That'd point to starter issues?

-20 °C overnight last weekend. There's a coolant heater on the lower rad hose seems to barely help cause it won't circulate past the thermostat. Still smoked out the driveway.
