New battery as of this past November. Hopefully the heet and some gas will do it.

New from Ford? Do you know what battery model you have?

Also I see that you have some amps and stereo upgrade...That stuff is more taxing of the battery and charging system...Espcially if you have that crappy OE low cranking amp one that people have been talking about....I want that 850cc battery from Ford if they are giving them out

It is an OE batter from the Ford Dealer. I'm not sure what the cranking amps on it is. I'm guessing it was similar to the old one. I'll check that when I get into work. I had thought about getting a higher amp battery but the folks that installed my stereo said I wasn't at that point yet. I may just go ahead and do it this spring, regardless.

No cranking at all, or slow cranking? Batteries need to be professionally tested. Remote possibility of starter involvement if battery/fuel level are ruled out.

Slow cranking for me but wouldn't start until I hooked up the jumper cables, then it turned over and had the problems I mentioned

Ok update. First thank you everyone that replied and helped me out.
DTC's:B1215 b11d9 u3003 c101a

The car started up after 4 gal of gas and a can of heet. Seems to be running normally. I cleared the codes and I'm running it for 10 min or so.

Hopefully its a permanent fix especially in your field which combined with the cold weather makes it that much harder on things,hopefully she will treat you right in order to rescue those poor animals from the cold,keep us updated.

Codes are fairly vague, b11d9 and u3003 point to Battery and Battery voltage respectively. B1215 is a running board lamp circuit error, and the c101a is a vacuum pressure sensor error. I would clear codes, then pull codes again after a couple of days to see of they recur.

In relations to this post and the other one,probably will be more beneficial to not use the remote start during real cold weather or if you notice its having a tough time starting,i think not only do you use up more gas but also consume more power from the battery using the remote start,just a thought until possibly you can upgrade to stronger battery with more cca,especially with this deep arctic cold,theres also a 24hr hotline number inside your owners booklet incase you get stuck.
