Now, it needs a blanket? <g> In Georgia?

No, No blanket, just the heater for maybe the most, five nights, depends oh how much time it takes you to get out of town.

OMIGOSH, I can't believe the number of posts to this thread. Well, I'll catch everyone up on the truck I love. <g>

Couldn't wait. Went camping in the mountains. No problem even without the brake. So far, I'm getting much better mileage than the Jeep. I'm told that I will get even better mileage now that I have a bed cover--it will be better aerodynamically--"loses the vortex". Love hiding all the stuff and getting our heads away from "potential flying objects". Next the back up camera goes in (Wed), and on Thursday, I'm getting the brake controller that was recommended by everyone Tek Progidy--can't remember the exact spelling.

It rode up to the mountains like a dream. It's fun to drive. It's fun to drive around town. It's fun to have a big gas tank. It's just plain fun! Nervous Nellie is a pro at the ramp, already. I'll see what I am missing in the remaining posts, I assume.

So far, Bill, I'm still confused about the blanket, but I'll read on.

Here are a few helping comments. I suggest you purchase a bottle of the additive for your fuel tank, I use "Power Service" Diesel Fuel Supplement, and WalMart Has it. It is never to soon to put some in the tank. You can have a little moisture in the tank and it can freeze.
I use my engine block heater any night that I intend on getting a quick start.
