Hey guys, I'm new to owning a truck with a diesel motor....I live in WV, so the winters here can be harsh. I was wondering what I need to do to my truck both before and during winter to take care of it....I don't have a block heater...
yea anything involving opening hte hood is over my head.....lol. my buddy had an 02 model cummins and didnt have a block heater, he just let his warm up before driving it in the winter. even during the summer and fall i let my truck idle a minute or few before pulling out, and i let it idle about a minute before shutting it off. i was just told to do that, i dont know exactly the importance of letting it sit before shutting it off.....
I think the block heater is only required if there are temps below is it -30???/ or something like that. eiether way a block heater is not very expensive to get sounds liek you are taking care of it tho so I wouldn't be worried.
