Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Dang..-36 this morning. Getting tired of this cold snap as it's been around up here for a couple of weeks now. Come on summer!!!!
On the bright side the 6.0 is running great with lot's of cab heat. (seat heaters are nice to have too )

I just keep thinking 9 more years and repeat as necessary. Going about 500 miles south when I retire. Not all that far away, but a totally different climate.

Speaking of which I should log off and get ready as I have to go on a 600 mile round trip tomorrow. I'll be sure to take my winter gear as always, just in case. Once we start heading south from here it is 120 miles to the nearest hamlet. Just miles and miles of bush.

Holy cow that's cold. I'm curious as to what anti-gel additive you use, or if your fuel is different. I live in northern Illinois and Monday morning it was -16F and that's the first time I had a fuel gel issue. I must not have been the only one b'cause when I went to my farm supply store after work the entire shelf of Power Service products were wiped out that day. I use the white bottle formula with the anti-gel and the fuel around here is some kind of 'winter-blend'. I have only had my truck for 6 months so this is my first winter with a diesel. Any cold temp fuel tips you have, I'd like to hear them.

Keep in mind that in Canada they are usually referring to temps in Celsius degees... Therefore -36C is really only -33 degrees Fahrenheit although even Ray (G.D.) Mercer would think that is cold
