WELD LYFE BRO

 

What temp delta is that at?

If you're cold, they're cold, bring them inside. Green truck got moved back in to thaw in 60* so it can commute tomorrow. Gonna be a lot of black ice come morning.

 

I don't follow, that's running full bore for an hour... It would cost .58¢ for that hour. I wouldn't heat it just for the vehicles, no reason, it's just for me while I'm working so its only on for maybe an hour before I go out and it's off the minute I leave.

 

they must hate mailboxes

 

So max cost of $0.58. that's not bad. Are you putting a thermostat on it? You could run it for longer but use less gas over a long period of time. If it costs you $0.15c an hour to overcome a delta of 30F then it's not a big deal to keep your shit warm.

 

fify

 

It has a thermostat, but I need a more accurate temp gauge in the shop to compare with before I dial it down and leave it on. But I agree I could probably leave it on if I hit the target temp right.

 

Ordered a remote start the other day for the 07

but it can't be installed till the end of January

so that's neat

 

Lame, I hate how those companies keep the wiring diagrams secret for just their approved installers

Have you seen the plug and play kits from 12 volt systems?

I was gonna go with them for the Ford but ended up doing my own factory remote start retrofit

 

We bought it from bestbuy

gonna stop by tomorrow and see if we can speed it up at all, doesn't really make much sense

 

And the obvious, how well insulated it is helps. I have left mine set at 60* for days in end when it's really snowy and cold outside so the cars melt quick and the slush chunks don't stick around and I have never really noticed it in my bill. I do cringe, every time I have to open the big door though.

 

Caution.

 

I assume it was the water crossing they were cautioning, but you never really know
