[QUOTE="Hotrod1830, post: 97750, member: 4331"] -30Degrees........ LOL. Better you than me. I start sounding like a little cheerleader at around 0 deg. I noticed you routed the exhaust pipe Under the engine. Not a real good idea. Sorry I just now noticed it. Oil is very flammable when hot. It can easily ignite if subjected to the high heat of an exhaust pipe. Any oil leaks from the engine will get on the exhaust and stand a chance of igniting. Second reason, is increasing oil temps. hot coolant is bad, Hot oil is even worse. My suggestion would be to route the exhaust out the right side of the rear door. Nothing saying you can't move the battery to the left side to make room for the exhaust. That is a good choice for a cab heater. They make sump heaters that stick to the bottom of oil pans. You could put one on both sides. If you are using oil and block heaters, no need for a thinner oil. [/QUOTE]
