its funny most people i know that bought a new house, the garage is to short and to low to fit a big suv or crew cab truck into. i think they are making them all for kia's now. i hate how the new houses around here put the garage under the living rooms usually. i like a detached garage best so if it burns down the house survives.
1. What kind of tires do you have cause this dirt and snowing road might be a bit much for old bald heat work Dlorida tires.
2. Get a few bottles of Diesel Kleen and add to every tank on the way up there, you will be fine on fuel.
3. That 15w40 oil is going to be a problem for cold starts, even if you use the block heater, it doesn't heat the oil. I would suggest either an oil pan heater and the block heater be at the ready depending on the temp,s, or change to 5w40 synthetic for the cold starts. Cold oil will cause all manner of issues on initial startup, it can be done but do you want to pop something in the high pressure oil out at the cabin.
4. You are changing your oil awfully early at 3000, fuel filters at 6000. Why not 5000 and 10,000? No problem with synthetic oil.

1) 35's Nitto Terra, very far from bald they have less than 7k miles.
2) ordered 6 bottles today
3) I'm changing it before I leave
4) same reason I wash my ex 3 times per week because I'm **** and have a little bit of money so why not lol
LivingLarge,
If you have a nice 12G extension cord that would be the
best one to plug the heater into the wall if you have to use one at all.
Sorry for the major

To give you an idea of the scope of the fire.
The interior made it out ok. The wall between the garage and the
house was a fire wall and the door had a decent fire rating.
We got a lot of smoke from the stuff that was burning and that came
in from the heat ducts. Once the fire department got the big truck
with the boom mounted nozzle there it was out fast. The other problem
was water pressure so the first trucks had a hard time with it and they
almost lot it because of that. I forget the truck count but more than half
were water tankers. One block of fire equipment or about 8 trucks I think.
That fire was first part of October after 9/11.
Took about 4 1/2 months to rebuild it all. That
is after all the permit BS and the time that took.

Pop something at start up? What are you talking about?
One more tip as I had to do it this morning. If your door is frozen shut DON'T just pull on the handle. Gently pull the handle with one hand. With the other pull on the bottom or top edge of the door. This way you don't break a handle.

Man, the crap you guys have to put up with
2 or 3 weeks per year is all I can handle without my flip flops

I am glad you said this.
Some dry silicone spray on the door seals will help then
to not stick. Much cleaner than any of the based oil sprays
like WD40. The wet type sprays pick up a lot of dust and
make marks on pant legs.
Get that on the wife/girlfriend's clothes and you will be
staying home with the dog next time at the long term kennel.
