236miles so far on this tank and I have a little less then half a tank left I'd pick the 8.3 over the 250 any day. Unless you plan on putting a turbo on it. Picked my self up a big buddy heater for the cab should do the trick. So here's a story for today pulled into a Arby's in Rogers by the cabelas. as luck would have it it was the same one I stopped at when I brought my 813 up. Last time I was there the young fella working was drooling over my truck. Said how he always wanted one. He had told me his story how he supports him and his mom working at Arby's his dad had passed away some how. Anyways sure enough he's still there I pull up in front of the store and walk in and say ya remember me? Sure enough he does. I asked him if he had bought a truck yet. Of course he hadn't. Anyways I sit down to eat and he's telling me all about my truck. The kid must study the tms for fun. So I asked him if he had ever driven one he said nope. I said well take your break and ill hop in the passenger side and ya can tell me how it runs. Big open parking lot the kid wasn't gonna hit anything but a snow bank. Anyways that's my story for today good deed done for the year.

Kind of a difference between the one working at the Super 8 motel and the one at Arby's.

The last pic is a limo nosed dived into a field. With the closes off ramp being 10miles away I figured he had to hit it in 6th taped out to make it to there

What is your temp gauge reading? If normal you might need a reverse flush on the heater core. Otherwise you might need a thermostat. Definitely want to have a good working thermostat in those temps or you will end up with milkshake for oil.

Temps at normal I have heat just not enough to keep up with the cold air oil looked fine also. Been checking the temps with a laser gun and both the rad and block are within 20 of each other

Dude, you smoked a deer with the guy you left your dog with, your boarder at the border. Isn't he the horder that can't keep it in oarder or the deer smokin' snow boarder?

Glad you're safe.

Good thing you weren't drivin' the Dodge!!!!
