In Issue 83 (wow, back in 2014) we covered cold weather tips for the care and feeding of your Ram Turbo Diesel during the winter months. This information was sourced directly from the Cummins Turbo Diesel Service Group and Ram owner’s manuals. (Where are the glow plugs located? Yep, that’s a joke.)

Worth a review, these practical cold weather tips cover:
  • Engine Block Heater
  • Fuel Filter Heater
  • Fast Idle
  • Battery Blankets
  • Cold Weather Grille Cover
  • Grid Heaters
  • Starting Fluids
  • Temperature’s Effect on Diesel Fuel
  • Wax Build-up
  • Fuel Additives
  • Low Temperature Biodiesel Performance

We reviewed the page 54 article for its significance and, 10 years later, we found the information is still relevant. So, Turbo Diesel veterans it is worth a review to see if we missed something. New to the world of Turbo DieselS? You’ll want to click below to read.
