    Heater

    Just a side note, between the block heater and the arctic cover I fired the truck right up after sitting for a few days in below 32 degree weather and had good heat in less than 10 min. Drove approximately 8 miles round trip warm and happy.

    block heater

    Navistar/International dealers sell a 600 watt block heater that screws into any 3/4 npt. hole for $38.00 out the door.

    would you give up your wife for your truck?

    My wife enjoys my hobby so it is a moot point. But none the less as has been stated if my truck was going to cause her to leave there are bigger problems. Besides my wife is a keeper regardless.

    Heater

    Just a short video to illustrate the difference in fan speeds from low to high. Sorry for the crappy video it was done with my phone. The whole project is done and working so I will stop driving everyone nuts with my posting. Seriously I want to thank everyone for all of the ideas and...

    Be careful using zip ties on a resistor that large they create a lot of heat. Mine saw 115 degrees Fahrenheit earlier today.

    Well here are the last of the pics. I finally figured out through trial and error where I wanted to and how I wanted to mount the resistor. It was all hardware parts and less than four dollars. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions. Oh and yes I do have a high and low that...

    A sad sign of the times

    Very beautiful breed of dog. Do they originate from from the Australian cattle dog or are they the same just different name here in the states?

    A sad sign of the times

    We recently had a four legged alarm pass away after many years of faithful service and are now training a new one. He is a 150+ lb. Great Dane. And we just installed motion lights a week or so ago to try and deter.

    A sad sign of the times

    D*** I wish I would have thought of this it is so much easier. :-P Here in Michigan we are allowed to carry concealed so we do. As far as moving I can't right now with the economy being where it is I would lose me a** selling my house. So for the moment I am stuck.:-x

    A sad sign of the times

    What I have finally decided on is actually quite simple. I keyed wire 10 to shut things down, I am going out this morning and looking for a 28v solenoid valve and lastly keep the wheels turned to left lock when I stop and chain it and lock it. As far as I go I will keep my colt 1911 and M4 ready...

    A sad sign of the times

    Mine gets driven daily so the battery cable thing wouldn't work. I like the idea of a magneto I am just sure as s*** that I will forget and end up with an unwanted colonoscopy or something that feels just as bad.
