221. As in two to one. As in two rear wheels per side to one wheel per side.

One half. For the same reason above, plus the fact that I'm sure you're spending one half of your time and one half of your money on the truck.

Either those, or Number Two. Like Austin Powers. "Who. Does. Number. Two. Work. For?"

LOL

This one is kinda growing on me, its got some meaning behind it.

Plus, I am combining two trucks into one.....and thats probably the hours I will have into it when its done.

Got the truck into a drivable state last night. The weather has been ridiculous here lately and I really miss having a warm truck to drive, the CC has too much cab space/ heat loss to drive comfortably when its -55.

Geez! Ive been seeing you guys are breaking records.

Both for average high and low temperatures, IIRC.

All I know is its freezin balls!

I can't believe a HEUI system can even function at those temperatures, must have some seriously thin oil.

When does the power swap start?

KPSquared · Jan 18, 2012

Alright, it was -38° C when I fired it up this morning. . .after seeing your temps I'm going to stop complaining. . .

Still need my pan heater installed. . .it wasn't an easy start today.

It works, but there not too happy for the first few minutes. This truck is running Delo 15W40. The CC runs Delvac 5W40 year round.

I plan on getting everything in place first (body work, battery's/ water moved, etc) so the swap will be quick.

Pan heaters are a must when it gets this cold. Make sure you get around 150 watts down there!

I cannot take my gloves off in my CC, that sucker is cold! Only saving grace is the heated seats, without those you would freeze.
