I only drive through Peoria on occasion, except in 95 I did some research there. I think I was in Peoria for 3 days and it was so cold..... I think i wore coveralls in the escort to keep warm, and it normally was comfortable in winter. I know one day it warmed up to 0 and the sun was out, so I went to a parts store and rigged up a manual pushbutton & relay for the glow plugs. I think that trip was the only time I had trouble starting the escort.

Beres at Pekin was the closest dealer to where I grew up. Got my first (and only) factory crate shortblocks (OM621) there.

Heck yes. I grew up in East Peoria.
I was the first human in my family, since the early '30s, to NOT EVER have
worked at Caterpillar.
I did sell my '71 220D to a VP at CAT named Gilmore...I think it was in '79.
