San Francisco to Colorado

[HWright]

Leaving soon for Crestone Co. from San Francisco. Are there any diesel specific preperations I should make to my 02,3500,4x4 with a Lance 1030 to prepare for the change in climate and altitude?

Make sure to treat your fuel with anti gel and check your antifreeze, it's still cold in the mountains.

Make sure to add some cold weather windshield washer fluid.

anti gell

At what temperatures will I need it?

wear a coat, evenings around the campfire can be a tad nippy this time of year. Seems I can't get my wardrobe right. . . pulled into Anchorage, AK wearing shorts and sandals. Pulled into Cocoa Beach, FL wearing long pants and quilted shirt. Drive through a couple seasons everyday, gets confusing. Others vehicle suggestions are valid, I don't change much else for altitude changes.



Cheers,

I usually treated my fuel as soon as I left the Bay area. If I recall correctly, diesel begins to gel at around 20 to 25 degrees. Not a problem if the truck is running due to the fuel recirculation, but once shut down you may have some geling.



Happy Trails...
