I will say that I found a flaw in my diesel...HEAT...it was only in the low 50's driving home yesterday afternoon for about 2 hours...turning on the dash mounted heat all the way to the full heat position barely produced any appreciable heat at all...I can see why folks go south for the winter in these things!
Joe.
Joe, not uncommon, you have 40+ feet of uninsulated hose running from the heat source to the heater core. Plus diesels tend to run a bit cooler than gassers in the first place. In fact it's probably closer to 50' once you count in all the bends.
most all diesels that I have owned and own all run 190ish so that is not the problem(sufficient engine heat).Like others said 50 feet of hose and then through a heater core no bigger than the one in your van or pickup and add all the open space your trying to heat.Mine is sufficient even in cold weather but I sure dont ever turn it off high in the colder drives
