Donkey, it looks like your last post was Dec. 2016. How about an update? Are you still making the drive? How did your numbers fare over the winter? I followed your lead last fall and added the Kats heating pad to my oil pan and it seems to really make a difference over using the coolant tank heater alone. Diesels run better warm too. Thanks.
