    Every morning I wake up and my throat is dry... This only happens when I have the heat on in the truck over night and it doesn't happen at home ever, anyone have this issue?

    Yes. The tractor heat is extremely dry unlike your house that has a humidifier.

    You can always get a humidifier for your truck.

    a trucks heater is like forced hot air in your home

    without some kind of humidity it will be dry
    forced hot water ie baseboard heat and electric heat in your home not as dry
    if you heat with wood plenty of people leave a pot of water on the stove
