That little Keroseen heater in the pic I posted will get it up to about 40 degrees in there - It's 2 degrees out side. - I use a torpedo heater for a bout 20 minutes when I first get out there - works quicker , but loud as hell..
I re-wired and installed a starter along with misc stuff..

Fixed those eFin wheel-well holes that trashed the engine compartment finally.- The holes caused road salt to spray up the side of the motor which rusted a hole in the dipstick tube half way up . I remember checking the oil before I new the tube had a hole in it and I seen crap on the stick - I thought I just rubbed the stick on something dirty in the engine compartment on the way out. Then my dipstick rusted , Inside!! - WTF is going here!! That dirt and sh^t has been contaminating the oil and motor for awhile before I noticed the dipstick hole.. Sucks , I fixed it and changed the oil. I have to do a compression check - To see if any damage was done there. It's running great..

So you have to go somewhere special to work on your trucks? You can't work on them at home? That would kinda suck..Better than nothin I guess..
