hertfordnc · 07-15-2014, 07:16 PM

I have a Dodge 3500 CUmmins and I have been reading some of the extreme success from Diesel Dave. I would not be willing to apply a lot of his methids (running without AC or modifiying emissions) But one thing he mentions is using the trucks block heater.

I'm curious how siginificant that might be? My commute is 23 miles and the truck comes up to temp in the forst 3 (when it's warm)

Thanks

Dave
