While my present SF climate is mild, I grew up in places with cold. A block heater was recently dissed. What do you guys add to make rig and cab more cold tolerable? I may like to travel a bit, without repercussion. Or just move! SF has some good points, but they have been eroding fast of late. Druggies/thieves almost taking over at times.

Yeah, we call that glue, lol.

You can see a little on the side of the accumulator (blue).

I have a tub of green out in the garage.... it was handy sliding the lowering springs in my Mustang.

This week I learned that it takes 4.5 work days for my gas gauge to come off of full.

If turning on the heater for an hour doesn't help, run the gas down to where you think it's about half a tank, and take it over a few jumps.
