Snow

How do you guys keep the snow out of your engine compartment? I was driving my truck around and plugged up the air filter (driving through 1 foot to 4 foot drifts), and over night the snow froze my throttle and choke up (It wont start, truck cranks very slowly but wont start). So how do you guys keep the snow out?

Re: Snow

Sounds like your using a open element air cleaner I would put the thermostatic one on it might help in the winter with warm up as well
