    Greatest threat to MVs?

    I think you left one out, that is out there and real. State MVA requirements and inspections. By requirements you may see DEMIL trucks no longer get the current pass that all of us enjoy in some states. I see the Historic tags being more restrictive. All it will take is for someone to buy a GL...

    Diesel heater vs. coolant heater

    As slow as 5 mph, it will not start or restart. I have tried it countless times, and it has NEVER refired while moving. It fired right up after 3 tries yesterday, at 6 degress outside and the truck had just beem started. So it lights off easily. I am going to take a set of prints with me to work...

When I bought the truck and checked the glove box, I found tha gasket was melted, and thought that it must get awful hot in this...
