Anyone here ever run winter fronts on their trucks? I'm goin to school in South Dakota and I see alot of trucks here running around with them, gas and diesel. With it being -17 this morning, wonderin if it'd help anything.

 

Winter fronts are pretty much required for diesels when it gets bitter cold, but for gassers you have to be more careful to watch the temperature gauge so you don't overheat the engine. What you'll get when it's really cold out is improved fuel economy, better cab heat, and a happier automatic transmission.

 

Sounds good to me found my weekend project, lol. If I was smart i would just move south...

 

It's in the 20's today down here in the South........

 

I have some grill inserts made by Lund. I only use them when it gets extremely cold (below 0). It helps the truck warm up a bit quicker for sure.

 

I use a 7 1/2 foot plow.

 

Not over here gdstock! Near 80!

 

-28C when we wake up tomorrow. And getting colder.

** Added - You know, its funny on the mobile site, you cannot tell what forum you are in (2nd gen, 3rd gen, etc)... which is why I seem to have strayed into your territory..

Anyhow, ya.. -28C on the OHC on the truck... thank God for remote start.

 

......now....trying to determine if there is any logical business reason to make a business trip that direction (that my board of directors will buy).......this is gonna take some more imaginative thinking....where is the tequilla?........

 

Kinda sucks, this summer I'm goin to New Mexico, spending the hottest part of the year in the south and the coldest in the north... :/
