My 5.9 dodge never warms up in the winter unless you put a good load on it. One of the fun things about the domestic diesels. Just wondering as it really anoys me about my truck and would if the 2.5 was the same. Thanks in advance Eric Wegerich 89 Montero as chopped as can be.

That said, with a block heater she starts great and comes up to temp faster than my Honda Civic once I'm driving. 1991 Mitsubishi Pajero XP TD LWB family hauler.

I know what you mean with the domestics thou. When I drive my dads Dodge it never wars up and you freeze half the time in the winter. 1991 MITSUBISHI PAJERO EXCEED Re: Question for the Diesel guys [Re: DonM] #905125 09/14/08 06:20 AM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 7,309 Airdrie, Alberta, Canada PHIL_ Trail Leader Mine's the same - as soon as I start moving, it starts warming up. Eric, I don't even get to Hwy567 on 24th street before I'm up to operating temperature... you should sell the Dodge, and get something smaller... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> 1991 HZJ77, 1999 KZJ90, 1999 UZJ100, 1992 M101CDN2 https://www.thegearheadproject.com/category/jdm-journeys/ Re: Question for the Diesel guys [Re: PHIL_] #905126 09/14/08 06:54 PM Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,538 Red Deer, Alberta torquemonster Body Damage is Cool water cooled turbos are awesome!!! our engines love winter, mine holds heat in the winter amazing too.

Letting it run for 5 mins before you take off is also good, even though the needle doesn't lift during idle it's got some heat going and heats up quickly after taking off. 1987 SWB Pajero 2.5 TDI on 31" rubber waiting for a hip replacement and bigger shoes Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
