I kept telling them there was a problem with the thermostat. They said you’re supposed to put cardboard in front of the radiator.
After five years. The mechanic showed me a thermostat in pieces.

My 2018 Cascadia does fine keeping the interior toasty in the cold. The 'arctic package' helps but at high idle it should be able to keep the cab comfortable.2Girls_1Truck Thanks this. -

The winter front helps keep the DPF from.needing regen so often, it was more important on the 60 series with DPF. -
Any old timers remember auto grill fins? They would open and close with temps.
TaterWagon#62, TGUNKEL, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this. -
Winter fronts (cardboard is for people who don't have a proper winter front) to keep the engine warm in temperatures colder than -14°F and in summer (bug screens) to keep bugs from getting stuck in the radiator.
When it's -31°F, there is no amount of heat a motor can generate to keep itself warm with a fully exposed radiator.
