Winter shift boot option

[Dieselfitter]

Winter shift boot for transmission is easy. Arctic military canvas or a speed shop high rubber tower type.
the transfer case hi low lever adds some issues in that the shifter lays on the floor when in low. And i use low alot when logging ,
a door sweep broom type at any lumber outlet is cheap and effective way to seal up cold air.

The door sweep idea is awesome. To make it even better you could use the garage door sweep that comes with aluminum brackets.

I was lookin for the aluminum one but the only broom bristle one was wooden , it was cheaper $5
aluminum had a rubber gasket type sweep

What about freeze/welding curtain material? Slit it, slide it over the shifter.

I like the brush idea.

I use Jatonka's canvas boots and they look and work great.

I ordered from these guys: https://www.northshorecommercialdoor.com/brush-seals.html

You have to order the aluminum bracket separately.

I made my transfer case shifter boot in a similar way. Posted Here . I originally used rubber, but the rubber I chose probably wasn't the best for this application and a few pieces of the rubber ended up coming apart after several months. I then decided to use a brush also and it's been much better.

Nice touch wih the L N H trim plate. Your truck is much more refined than mine. Lol My truck is and will stay a lil “dirty”

i have plugged all the holes i can find in the cab and installing a fiberglass top on it this week . Hoping that will quiet the cab more and keep the heat that it makes . So far in 30* weather the heater keeps up on these back roads , 25-35 mph. i have a 5 mile stretch down a paved road at 50 mph to the mill, the cab is cooled off by the time i get there.
