Doesn’t everything react in a very slow way at those frigid temps? Here in Florida we’re coping with 64 frickin degrees thus morning!

It was 56 when I got up and I'm freezing lol but it will warm up to 87 for a high. I'm a wimp now,anything below 70 and I'm cold!

Haha I just realized that and was about to say something. Damn Americans. We should have switched to metric about 140 years ago. I hate SAE so much.

WTF?

0 degrees Celsius being the freezing mark does make alot more sense along with the whole metric system to me but that's all I've grown up with!

I was moving just fine this morning... it helps that I knew I was headed for a nice warm truck though!

Same!

??? What? lol. I just have strong opinions about severely outdated uses of science.

I'm super jealous about that. It should be universalized.

I think it is pretty much everywhere else in the world!

Hi Folks,

Ford when completely metric in around 1978. Some difficulty with older engines with SAE fasteners. I work in both systems but still have trouble with temperature...just cannot get my head around Centigrade. I do know that -40° is the same on both scales and that is bitter cold regardless of the temp scale!

Best,

Easiest way to convert is to double it and add 30 and you will be in the ballpark for Fahrenheit

Hi Dave,

Yep! actual forumla is 9/5xC°+32

Next question for any of you that have the Deezee damper and are in a cold climate - does it lower very slow in the cold? My ROW one does and it’s only a few degrees below zero here.

42 deg F here this morning and mine was noticeably slower, if that helps...

typical gas spring dampers have a fluid internal that will be affected by temperature, i.e., they work slower in cold temperatures and vice versa for hot temperatures

temperature affects viscosity of the internal fluid and thus dampening rate
