I realize that was two months ago, but thanks Aloha.
Well, back in Early December I had to switch back to winter mode. Gave 'er a final good scrubbing and snapped some pics before the wrenching had to begin. Can't wait to switch back to this mode come April!
And currently:
Plus now with atrocious amounts of road salt.
I decided $45 was well worth it to add an oil pan heater:
I'm hoping the angled silicon bead will direct any errant oil / fuel / coolant (seems theres always somethin' on a diesel) away from ever reaching the pad heater edges...
I also followed the footsteps of others, and grabbed a marinco power outlet.
The outlet is wired to a short three way extension, so now I have both oil pan and coolant circulation heaters when its plugged in.
3 hours on the timer before I leave for work, and occasionally I get a parking spot close enough at work to plug in my 50' extension cord.
And lastly, major vehicle milestones must
always be observed:
It's nice having almost half a tank of fuel left after 450 miles
(...okay, so the second half of gauge travel goes a little faster)
And.....
