Ten below outside, and my truck has a coolant heater?!
I guess it does. It's been darn cold here in old Iowa lately, as much has most of you, (Yesturday and today have been real nice though) Anyway, backed truck out of garage and there was a small puddle of tranny oil on the floor. Turns out one of the tranny cooler lines had a hose clamp come loose and started dripping. And of course the skid plate acts as a good bucket, it was a mess with oil and road grime.
I pulled the skidplate, tightned the clamp, cleaned up the skidplate and went to put it back on. Thats when I noticed the short cord with a cap on it. It was for the coolant heater, never knew I had it. It was tucked up behind the bumper, I had never noticed it before.
I plan on using it. My truck never really gets warmed up on my short drive to work. Might help my poor winter MPG?
It's fun to find stuff thats useful that you never knew you had. Now...for that missing $100 bill....
