Storage Advice
I have our 98' stored here at home for the winter. It gets to be about 40 or so in the garage. I decided to start it and it had a hard time cranking.
Should we disconnect the battery and just wait till spring? Any other tips or suggestions...
Thanks
Doc!!

It sounds like you left the battery connected. If so, you need to disconnect the battery negative terminal and put a battery tender on there which you can buy anywhere really. As for storage there is an article on winter storage here on this site.... I forget how to find it though. Baisically what I do is, put fuel stabilizer in the tank and fill it up, wash the car, and disconnect the battery. Thats all I do really. I go and take it out (and drive it for a good 50 miles or so) on a nice day every month or so to keep things lubed and active. I've had success doing that for a few months now and every time I go and start it, she fires right up like nothing ever happend! Good luck man.
