I am glad you guys had a great Christmas. Its been pretty chilly here for a few nights but nothing to bad the old diesel hasnt been happy in the mornings even though I leave it plugged in all night. We had a great Christmas we drove to Green Bay and back in that storm on Christmas eve and had a great time with family other than that just moving snow around the house and working.

Nice, mustve been a fun drive eh. That storm missed us, we only got a foot out of it. Ended up working that night too, it snowed so hard i couldnt see on top of the oven for all the steam.
Last friday i think the guys were running out to the gate on our spell time to start their diesels in hope they would start when we got off work

It wasnt to bad I put 500# of sand in the bed before we left and I would have rather had the snow than the sleet and rain we got.

As cold as it gets there, I'm thinking an enclosed chrarcoal burner, maybe even a barrel, with a chimney piped onder the truck so that the heat expells on the front of the pan.

Jerame, idk if the Fords have threaded holes, but Jag/LR engines have threaded 1 1/2" hole that a warmer just threads right into the water jacket. on the drivers side near the bottom of the block, it looks like a freeze plug but has a large Hex head on it, it just threads out.
