keepin' it warm...

Nomad · 12-05-2007, 08:57 PM

Hey guys, its been hovering around -30 up here in the Mac for some time now, and just wondering what you 2nd gen guys have been doing with these things to keep a little heat in the cab?? I've got the front grill and bumper blinds, but that's it for now. Gonna be a long and cold winter.
Thanks,
Cheers!

I put on one of those cold fronts and it helps some. I think I am going to try covering the two big slots in the bumper. Looks like they flow more air than the grill.

Cold Front on a 2nd gen

I put on a snowmobile suit for short trips in the dodge and long underwear and three sweaters for long trips

I'm in Wainwright and it has been colder tahn $hit here too, All I've done is shove a cardboard box infront of the rad (covers about half of the surface area), and I'm using the factory block coolant heater, and yesterday I stuck on an oil pan heater.
In the mornings I let it warm up at high idle (Cruise+set in park= high idle) for 15 minutes and she is ready to roll.
