I will either plug mine in or set my remote start to auto which will let it automatically start every 3 hours and idle for 20 minutes. Just don't tell Algore.

Left work this morning and the truck was reading -40C which apparently is also -40F. I was lucky tho, I was working Ambulance last night, my Fire Department (my other job) got a truck fire that ended up setting a house fire. The guy plugged his trucks block heater in with a extension cord that was to small and set the truck on fire. The flames spread up the wall toasting the whole. No worries tho, there was no injuries and the truck was a GMC.

I got proof of the -40 to.

I've been camping in this ~6F weather! You know it's cold when you spill some soup on a picnic table and it freezes instantly

That was this morning in Englehart Ontario, which is in Temiskaming District about 2 hours north of North Bay. We are still sitting about -20 at 330 not counting the windchill.

Its pretty simple actually, I just bought my truck in Canada. lol jk.
I am not sure if there is a way to change it tho. Good Ol Canada, Speedo is in Km/hr and thermometer is in Celcius.

Ah, okay. I fished a lake in Englehart one time when I took a trip up to Kirkland Lake. I think it was called Long Lake.
