Winterizing Vehicles Video
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 12:08 am
I just got this video on winterizing vehicles, thought you’d all enjoy seeing it if you have not already.
http://www.vimeo.com/2293158
Towards the end of the film they show the installation of a coolant heater on a 6x6. It has a vent stack that protrudes up through a hole cut in the hood – has anyone ever seen a hood with this hole in it? Does anyone have a truck outfitted with any of this winterization gear?
Also, on the same trucks that they have these heaters, the bows seem to be higher in the back than the front – giving the canvas tarpaulin a hiked up look. Any ideas as to why these trucks are outfitted this way?
Thanks!
