Then what's with the wall voltage pigtail hanging out of the bumper? Looks like the connector for a block heater.

 

That's exactly what it is. It gets cold enough here that even a gasoline-powered vehicle isn't going to start (especially with older vehicles).

 

Where the hell do you live!? The north pole??

 

As I'm sure T.C. will tell you, it can get down to -35C (-31F) (and that's w/o windchill) for a week at a time. No vehicle wants to start in that weather.

So, in short, yes. haha.

 

It gets very cold up here. If you don't have a block heater you are pretty much !@#$ed.

 

Weisel is telling the truth, EVERYTHING around our climate will need a block heater, but lucky for Weisel Calgary gets chinooks that passes through and warms up the weather there. Edmonton gets squat. :/ Also that pick & pull dakota isn't there anymore they crushed it, I went in last tuesday and it wasn't there. And weisel are you turning the dodge into a gasser?

 

Yes, our lovely chinooks......I love chinooks.
Oh darn, I was planning on going to see what was left of it.
No, I don't know why I said gasser, I meant gas-powered.....it's my daily driver (or soon will be).

 

I'm over in New England, US. We get our fair share of winter compared to everyone else in the states but nothing like that! Actually I need to get on replacing my radiator before this summer kills my engine haha

 

Quit bragging Weisel, you and your nice weather. Some time ago I thought it would be a cool idea to do a gasser form of our truck. You know single cab, with a 5.9L v8 with a hood scoop, and dorky flame job on flat black paint. You would get a lot of looks and a few ricers testing your metal.

 

Some better pictures:



And yes, that is 'warp' on my box, caused by the right leaf spring somehow having been bent up.
