I saw it....

[AWay]

the WAIT TO START light for the first time this morning. Temp was in the upper 40's here. Oo.

 

[Prairie Dog]

and your happy about that???

 

[RRees]

It won't be long for me either. At least mine is in the garage at night.



This will be my first winter experience with a diesel. I don't think it will be too bad.

From what I've read, just pour some anti-gel in the tank when you fill up and should be ok. I did purchase the block heater cord and will install this weekend. Even bought a timer. It'll be nice to have warm air from the get go in the heater in the morning. My old 99 V10 gasser would take about 5 minutes to get warm air. I'd be half way to work before it go warm.

Don't know where your located, but most truck stops and stations already have anti-gel in their fuel. I've never added it and have run in sub zero weather several times.

They add it because gelled up fuel in the fuel tank has a hard time moving through the pump to your truck and that makes it hard for your money to pump into their pockets. :-laf

Warm air when you plug it in??



When I was in Alaska, we had about 25 Dodge and Ford diesels... none of them ever blew warm air if they were plugged in. And I'm not talking when it was -30 or anything.

 

[NPloysa]

You saw it for the first time? Sheesh, I bought my truck July 27th and saw it about a week later

 

[AMink]

Mine has come on a few times now. Hope the heater works better than the A/C!

 

[EHerrling]

Saw mine for the first time three days after I got it. OH temp sensor said 50*. I thought it would come on anytime it was less than 66* but other days it was 50-60* and it wouldn't come on.

 

[SafeHarbor]

I saw mine for the first time this season a few days ago. It had been 56 that night, and the light stayed on for about ten seconds.



I, too, have never had instant heat from plugging it in, but I did find out that if I leave it in the defrost position and outside, little round circles in the frost on the windshield form right above the defrost vents on the dash.

Saw mine one morning last week when the OH said 39 degrees.
