Winter is here so I got some firewood. This is a first time I loaded my truck. I noticed brakes work much better with some weight in the bed.

Nice to see an old truck do what it was meant for.......

Winter, where? LOL, we have been getting snowed on for three days straight in the rockies(butte, mt). Nice and icy out for everyone to slide around! Nice truck, btw. Love the green.

I wouldn`t want it in the 40s in my house.I don`t care what state I`m in.That`s a "just right" load.Nothing to it,but enough to change the ride.

TennesseeZ · 10-12-2008, 08:26 PM

Dropped down into the 80s............

Yeah, high 40's at night. I run straight distilled water, maybe I should add some antifreze.

most definately. antifreeze/coolant whatever you want to call it should be used all the time. it stops localized hot spots. plain water can boil off in hot spots and create air pockets. especially in the rear of the heads.
you ever watch a pot of water start to boil? that's happening in your engine.
