    Nah, just start her up, put it at high idle and let the motor's heat do the work.

    Last couple days, running bulk, the truck I run for that run so warm it melts all the snow/ice on the ground around it.

    A T800 is better suited to my needs and I like them a lot but when I close my eyes and picture trucks it's a W9 sitting there.

    Cluck the Legend, LTL Wizard, Trucking God. At the top of the list of people that the ATA and Teamsters despise. You hear people whisper about him at the lunch counter.

    I tell him about these posts when I talk to him. He gets I'm all the Messiah I sacrificed for you guys blah blah blah..... I threaten to hang up on him every time but he just laughs at me.

    When he comes up spearing this winter I may push him in.

    There you go. Nice rig. :D

    BTW, the regulars in here call this "the man cave", where guns, trucks, adult beverages, engines, transmissions, pointy things or whatever you have is fair game for discussion.
     
    Orangees, Lepton1, sawmill and 5 others Thank this.

    Where is Everyone #4 is usually where the goof off discussion takes place. Just a bunch of guys posting whatever they think may be interesting to others.
