It starts without being plugged in... even at 0, but it takes some serious cranking when it gets below about 20.

I noticed it earlier this year that it wasn't opening at all, and until my new-ish heater tubes come in, I just zip tied it open. It blows warm at the vents, but not enough to warm up the cab nice and hot like it used to. I'm gonna try checking the doors in the heater box and see what else I can do to get some heat out of this turd.

Do you guys have any driving tips for a dually on icy roads? If I drive in 2wd or 4wd the back of the truck is all over the road. Snow covered and icy roads that are flat are no problem. But if I drive on back country roads with deep icy 2 track grooves back of the truck is all over the road. Cars coming at me slow way down and give me more of the road because they see my truck all over the road. They probably think I'm drunk. This is my first year driving a dually in the winter. I always parked the duallys for winter. I just retired my 93 w250 plow truck this winter do to rust, electrical and brakes problems, I only use it now to plow the driveway. If I put a ton of weight in the back of the truck will that help me drive out of the grooves and keep the truck falling back into the grooves? or is this just a dually thing
