winter is taking a firm grip here in montana and no matter how long we idle the 04 cummins it wont warm the cab until after about 10 miles of interstate driving. trouble is its only 5 miles to work. the wifey is miserable with this and she wants me to trade it on a gas powered version so that she can get some heat. were buying her a new jeep in february and i want to hold her off on selling the 04 until then at which time ill take it over. i cant have her being cold going to and from work. i can plug it in 4 hours prior to cranking or all night long and it still wont warm up. i can plug it in all night long and then idle it 30 minutes before leaving and it still wont warm up. my old ford had an apc where i could set the rpm on anything i wanted and leave it there warming up. any way to do that on the dodge any ideas would be appreciated. thanks you might try looking for a small heater to put inside of the cab that plugs into the cigarette lighter or from your house via extension cords. .

bob wrote ninebal310 wrote hi all i have a 2001 dakota with the 4.7 v-8 that i bought new. now that it is out of warranty i want to install dual exhaust. what mufflers would give me the best performance. what problems can i expect in regards to mpg hp heat and etc. tia hank cat back systems havnt been proven to privide additional power or economy. people install them simply because they like the look and/or the sound. so you have to listen to a few mufflers in small blocks to get an idea of what you like. it can be a challange getting the pipes around things like the spare tire and the trailer hitch. but any good custom muffler shop not meineke can do it for you. if the system is well built you shouldnt have any problems with performance efficiency heat etc. a true dual system from the manifolds back would make a little more power. but its against federal smog regs to remove the cats and make it a true dual exhaust sytem. and youd also have to fool the computer into thinking they were there. for a true dual what if you were to install dual cats as well .

tbone wrote yea right jerry. anything that you say. of course this would have nothing to do with you ignorant comparison now would it. my comparison was just fine certainly far superior to any of the bull shit youve been blabbering. your attempt to bull shit out of it was simply typical and as usual tommy troll.......... ignorance is common in all of us on some subjects as it simply means not informed. however stupidity in this group is a possession you have a lock on all by yourself.......... the guy is right you really dont have a clue how stupid you present yourself do you then again maybe you do. jerry .
