It doesn't seem to be an issue. It's been in the low 40's this week and it takes about 3.5 minutes to get warm air from the vents. That doesn't seem to be noticeably longer than before. Thats with driving about 3/4 mile at 20 mph before hitting the freeway at 55.

Two noticeable plusses are that at the end of my 14 minute commute now I notice it is getting hot in the cab and that never happened before. Like Doc said "Let there be heat!!!"

And the other plus I noticed was yesterday morning. The dew point was high enough that the front windows fogged up immediately after I got in the truck. A minute later 50% of the windshield was clear and most the rest was gone by the 3 minute mark. Markedly improved over the old worn out blower motor.
Now if I could just get the drivers side to clear up first.
