12 volt M1008 report

[M1008driver]

We've had the coldest weather in a few years and the coldest since I converted my M1008 to 12 volt. It has been down to minus 30 with highs below zero. I let my M1008 sit for a week with only a battery warmer plugged in. After two cycles of the glow plugs she started right up. It did take forever for the afterburn, but that 12 volt truck, that is heresy to some, started like it should just fine.

Either way works, but I never could start my truck in the cold before the conversion without charging the battery.

I'm sure you have posted before but what 12v conversion did you do?

Roscommon is the only one I would trust or recommend. Now I buy my starter, belts, alternator and more at the local auto parts store. I use my truck in some remote places and it was important to me to be able to get parts easier.

Ok I've been thinking about doing the Roscommon where you have 2 isolated systems for awhile to run a large inverter good to hear that it works well.
