Well, went to go start the ram this morning to go to the dealer about my tranny TSB, its also freakin cold outside and this is the first tme she didn't want to start right up, so I guess I will also be purchasing a block heater cord. Shibby

 

Even with my truck plugged in and a winter front on, it still took a little while to warm up. It's getting COLD here for sure.

 

Man, it must be really cold there. In Ga. we don't have to plug them up....

 

It's been in the upper teens here at night lately, and I plugged mine in for the first time the other night since I had a meeting to go to early the next morning. I just set it on a timer to turn on about 2 hours before I had to leave. Made a big difference in how fast it fired up and was ready to roll, although it still took a while to get any heat.

 

It got down to the single digits here last night (walking the dog was fun at 4:30 this morning). Had the truck plugged in for 4 hours and it started right up, was a bit worried but I figured it would be a good test. It did take a long time to get the engine warm and get the any heat rolling. Need to look into getting a winter front, driving at 65mph when its 8 degrees it seems to cool it off as fast as it warms up.[:@]

 

Well, 61 bucks later I got my cord and I also scheduled an appointment to have their techs "look into" my tranny issue. I plan on having a post it note with the TSB number stuck to the gauge cluster when I drop it off tomorrow. Stuck the truck in the garage and just waiting for the garage to warm back up before I go crawl under the Ram and put in the cord. Last night it dipped down below -15 F, right now it "warmed up" to -6. She didn't want to fire today. Turned over really slow, but wouldn't fire for a while. Then popped a CEL, I am sure the CEL will clear after a few days.

Then I drove to Black Sheep Performace 4X4 and scheduled my truck to have my Edge Juice and A2 installed next Friday.. WOOT!!!

 

A high of -6, that will make your nipples stand up.

 

61 smacks and you hafta install it yourself ?!?!?

That SUCKS !!!!

 

its worth it when it gets this cold out. I thought my truck was broke this morning, just damned cold. I am gonna run the cord out through the fron today, but when it warms up and I get some more scratch I am gonna run it out to the back like your Mayfair

 

you could have gotten the cord at genos garage for $18.50 or any truck stop for 20.
its a generic heater cord
