Wet Stacking

Same. I have some old Mack literature that says if you're gonna idle for an extended period bump em up to 1200....

 

I cant keep the fumes from my stink pipe out of the cab. They build up under the hood and find their way in... stinky pre-emission Detroit.... When it's real cold, like tonight, -26, it's up and down all night, idle for a while, sleep for a while. The bunk heater wont really cut it on it's own. I HATE WINTER.
I tried extending the stink pipe out the side and out behind the cab but it needs heat to keep from freezing. If it's not tucked up to the block It will freeze shut and then the crancase pressure will push the dip stick out and a gallon of oil also...... I need a generator, an extra heater inside I guess, or go back to running south.

 

You forgot the word erotic in front of asphyxiation

 

I've had 2 apu's on different trucks, they are garbage. I'm thinking a generator and some kind of aux fuel tank.
I usually didnt run northern New Brunswick and Quebec much, and I use to take most of Jan/Feb off, as tires were slow then, but since I started this dedicated thing, that's not possible. I have an opportunity to go back to deck work running steel loads south starting March.... I may have to make a phone call today... I HATE WINTER...

 

"Slobbering", man, that's a new one, clearly a regional dialect, and is not wet stacking. Wet stacking, is after a prolonged idle, the turbo and adjacent exhaust pipe, literally can have raw fuel built up, and the 1st time you mash the motor, all that blows out the stack. Old Cats were good for that. My old Cummins motors, I had to button them up tight, 1000 rpms and STILL, the temp gauge wouldn't come off 150, if that. Your thermostat is working properly, I wouldn't trust dash gauges as being gospel, no need to cover the radiator.

 

Its not slobberung ...or wet stacking......The correct term is called ..Kitty Litter
