For the 08's, anything built on or after 07/30/07 is condsidered JOB2.
If you are wondering about your '04, then anything built on or after 09/29/03 is JOB2.

I’ll wait and see what happens though. No question the heat will be better then the 1990 bronco I drove thought he last five winters.

Not worried about heat in the cab
I am looking for a Winter front or grille inserts for my 06 f-250 SD. I think there will be enough heat in the cab but the fuel mileage will suffer on a PSD without the rad covered up. Any suggestions or photos?

I did some searching around and the one that seems to be the one to get is from cabelas the part number is UH512605. I think it is only $44.00 I will be getting one for my 06' F-250 PSD for the winter as my heater is terrible when at idle.

For extra cab heat what i do is get an electric space heater and and plug it in with your block heater. It doesnt keep the cab hot or anything but it sometimes keeps the frost off the windows and gives the truck heater a head start. If your worried about power consumption just run a timer and set it for about 2-3 hours before you leave. The heater i use is specifically for vehicles and puts out 1500 watts, it also came with a little mounting bracket, was around $50. If you cant find one of those i have even used one of those little ones used for inside houses, they are even cheaper $20-40.
I havnt had any problems with breaakers or chords on this set up either ( using automotive timer ).

So even if a grill cover would only speed up the heat by one minuet it would have a significant impact on my commute.

Remember that this type of driving (short trip in extreme cold) is damn hard on the engine. Change the oil often and take her for a long drive once or twice a month to give the PCV system a chance to work.
