Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / December 2006what do I need for cold weather
I have a '06 2005 CTD. I live in the Phoenix AZ area, and will be visiting central Utah where the lows are expected to be about 10 degrees, with the highs at 35 to 40 degrees. Do I need to do anything special to my truck? The dealer in Phoenix was not much help! >I have a '06 2005 CTD.

By plugging in the block heater at night, you have almost instant heat, cause the coolant is already warmed up. >I have a '06 2005 CTD.

Do I need to do anything special to my truck? > The dealer in Phoenix was not much help! You needn't do anything different for those temps. The wait to start light will take a tad bit longer to go out before starting. The block heater really isn't necessary untill temps drop below zero degrees. One thought comes to mind however. You want to make sure that your fuel is primarly the local blend as the fuel in Phoenix is probably still #2 diesel. The fuel in Utah is the winter blend. Hope this helps!

The fuel in Utah is the winter blend. Ya took the words right off my keyboard! I think I would be treating any fuel that was in my truck for the trip. Take a spare fuel filter just in case. I've a confesssion. Figure I can sneak it in here. I used the heated seats in the Charger, they are the balls! Roy > Hope this helps! > > Mike >>>I have a '06 2005 CTD.

You are probably correct Mike. As you know it is a real looooong way around the wabbit. <BFG> Roy > Mike >>>>>>>> What a bunch of wussies we have here.... >>>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > around the wabbit. > <BFG> Keep it up suckers. Santa's been good to me so far for Christmas.......M1 Garand and an 870 express with a 28" and a 20" barrel.

Ya'll just keep > pok'n now..... <VBG> I had a choice from Santa. A cat-back for the new toy or more fire power. I opted for the cat-back. The dark side is more than enough with a few 30rd mags.

"enough" is not a word in my vocabulary....especially with a 40 gun safe...... It sounds like we're gonna have pistol/carbine/shotgun stages at the matches next summer. Sounds like fun to me...
