A question for anyone that lives in cold weather
i have a 12v cummins and i work in the mountains during winter and can anyone give me some tips on what to do because the last time it snowed it got down to 9 degrees and i had the block heater plugged in so it will start easier but i can drive around for an hour and the temp gauge will just sit around 150 so the heater wont work i was thinking about putting a sheet of plexiglass in front of the radiator with hols drilled in it to restrict airflow but does anyone have any ideas thanks

we have sub zero temperatures here.... but mine is the same, i still get hot air from the ventilator...
mine will go to about 160-170°F ( that's about 70-75°C )
normal operating temperatures are 90-100°C on any automotive engine... mine won't reach these temperatures here... even in the summer...

Get a winter front that covers the front grille. It will increase the engine temperature which in turn creates heat for the heater. You can buy one that snaps on or make your own using cardboard.
