Cold Weather Options to Keep You Productive

With winter weather right around the corner, make sure your truck is equipped with all the proper cold weather options to withstand the grueling conditions.

Feel a loss of power during the winter? Cold weather can cause diesel fuel to wax which, in turn, will clog up filters and deliver a loss in power to the engine. Fuel waxing can be prevented by adding fuel filter/heater options to your spec. You can also add an Immersion Block Heater and Oil Pan Heater to aid in cold weather starting.

Don’t forget about other options that can fight the effects of a frigid winter. Consider battery box insulation or a heater pad for your batteries. A Winterfront helps keep snow and ice out of your grille. Insulated fuel lines, wirebraid hoses and the Artic Fox heater are available for fuel tanks. Aux and bunk heaters can also be spec’d for the cab/sleeper. Be sure to try them out!

If you are still unsure what options to add to prepare for the upcoming winter, feel free to contact the Rihm Kenworth sales team.
