    should just have to set it on heat and set your temp control. Make sure you don't short cycle it. It will Carb up fast and smoke like.crazy then eventually stop working

    Yours is messed up. Set it to 90 degrees and try to turn it on.

    It may take several cycles of you turning it on and off to get it going.

    Turn it on and you can hear it try to kick on under your bunk. Give it a couple minutes and if it doesn't start blowing hot then turn it off. Wait a couple minutes and try again.

    Sometimes I can get mine on after 3 or 4 tries but sometimes I cant.

    good luck! I was in Ohio last winter at like 10 degrees and mine wouldn't work. My truck won't idle all night either.

    Yea I'll take northeast over California. I've been on east coast whole life, I used to go up to Pennsylvania new jersey all the time for family. Every place they send me is around paid parking or some poop hole area.

    My western extrusion load today wasn't bad at all. Not as easy as my first but not as bad as the other 8 or so melton drivers.

    Most of it is about 3 feet tall. I do have about 8 feet that's 5 or so feet tall. Only 2 tarps this time!

    Well I'll be sitting for 24 hrs. Called to see if I can deliver this early but nope it's a firm appointment for 1630 tomorrow. I'll be in Ontario California by 1400 so I get to pay for parking hooray. At least the Petro and TA there have 600 spots each and there's good food around. Really was hoping to be done today to avoid Los Angeles traffic tomorrow. Guess I'm not gonna rush now .
