What did you do with your truck/shop today

[MikeNH]

Two 10 minute segments is it. No way around that as far as I know. Depending on the frost it may not totally clear the window but even with the worst of the winter last year (-15F air temp, windchill almost -40) it got the heat plenty warm.

I guess it is better than nothing. She has heated seats, so she can at least be warm while she waits for the windows to clear up.

I wish there was cold and snow in Colorado

If you need to warm up for more than 10 minutes why not just use a block heater? 20 minutes seems excessive, but then again the coldest temp I've ever been in has been in the 20's. lol

 

 

And I finally washed my truck last night, along with dressing up the rubber, plastic, and tires as usual. Looking down at her from our second story office just got more enjoyable!

Hoping to hear from the adjuster today about the final verdict on my truck. Meanwhile all I can do is look at the pictures of the truck then and now....

[kstruckcountry]

Block heater doesn't do anything for getting warm air into the cab, and it still takes a while to get the coolant warm. Unless it's extremely cold (-30 or less) I'd bet the electricity to run the heater costs more than the fuel to idle for a few minutes.

This was about a week ago... But I couldn't get past this sand section since my left wheel would just dig in. So much for off roading. lol

I mean this with all due respect. Dumb a**, (said in the Red Foreman tone from that 70's show) be careful what you wish for.

 

It has been sub zero wind chills in IL most of the week & cannot wait until this crap is gone.

Suppose to be 31(will wash truck) Sunday to get the salt off. But that 31 degree temp has

a ice/snow storm following it Sunday eve into Monday & the temps go right back down to single digits.

 

My joke & thoughts of winter aside, this crash on I94 in MI has been on the news the past couple of hours.

Sad day for multiple families & in particular for the one life that was lost.

I want it cold so the salt doesn't do as much damage and it will start snowing. That's what I came here for lol

I'm not a ford guy but I love spraying this color.

 

[kstruckcountry]

My favorite ford color is the black metallic. I like fleck colors, GM should do more.

[Btuggle88]

Gm has a decent on on the Cruze and aveo I think but I really like Chryslers black metallic.

Was reading the other day Chrysler/Ram is bringing it back on the trucks. The article mentioned they only switched to straight black

after the earthquake/tsunami in Japan a couple years ago. A major component of the color was either sourced or the tech was based there.

GM has it too. I think it's Granite Black Metallic or something. Saw it on a Caddy CTS-V at the GM display up at Ignace a couple years ago. In the sun the color was stunning.
