    if you get a harbor freight cc at the same time you get 10% off of the 1st purchase "everything". So you could get (with this prom) 30% off

    It's a portable. With wireless remote start.
    What tank do you use? Is it frame mount? How many gallons?

    Got a ZeroBreeze also. I have read if you turn it around and blow the air conditioned cold air out and bring the normal exhaust hose in you have a heater as well!

    Considered and passed. I saw credible negative reviews that got me there. That, and the idea of having to coach a driver or a tire truck guy through the process to bypass in the event of a failure.

    The concept is interesting, just not for me at the moment.

    I gotto follow suit of the op idea because the last two Winters it is a b,itch to start the truck if temps are close to 20 degrees. Especially, with older Cummins ISX engine. It definitely gets worse as it ages. Unfortunately, I don't have access to electricity but I was thinking about buying one of those cheaper gas generators, go to the truck a few hours before departure and hook it up and go back home and then back again...when it is time to go. Maybe the battery and the timer is a better - less hassle - option.
