Winterizing your truck

[Scottly]

What type of winter air should I put into my tires? And will I need to lube the muffler bearings or change the turn signal fluid before it snows?

 

[Travelin Ram]

In the snow, I run helium in the front tires, and CO2 in the rear to improve the weight distribution.

 

[CrispyBacon]

Seriously, I top up my wiper fluid, swap my snow tires on, and throw the window scraper in the back.

i plug my blockheater in and swap the washer to winter mix and alternator fluid and change the summer headlights to winter headlights.

Seriously guys why hasn’t someone mentioned draining the oil in the transmission and engine and putting the 50-50 oil- antifreeze mixture in for winter.

 

[HuskerRam]

I change the paint to something lighter so I’m easier to see since it’s darker for longer periods these months.

 

[kdoublep]

I put on my winter flip flops

No joke hold the coke, jack daniels will lower the wiper fluid cold temperature operation, plus it will really mess with the cops head if you are ever pulled over and you use it when he is near the window. I am perfectly fine occifer...

Yeah, but why waste good Jack? A pint of rubbing alcohol will do the same thing for .98 cents. It'll eat up all your rubber seals, but a small price to pay.

I beg to differ. Jack, George and Jim are good drinkin’ whiskey. Even the common stuff is expensive down here because of our economy.

OMG, do not joke on this, someone liable to read and believe it, LOL... U know, Everything is True if on the Internet.
Also, we used to joke with the new Airman on flightline, like where were the hubcaps for the tankers/bombers and who had the keys to the airplanes? LMAO.

Used to drink a lot of "Jim" Beam. Of course on ice w/coke. When I was in Europe and the Mark rate was good, drank a lot of Ansbach (Cognac). At 2 marks a shot, like $ 0.98 at the time, 20 marks make U Happy !!!!!

Stationed on Northern Tier, way back when, we always went to "Canada" to get our Choir Practice AlkyHol. Dollar worth 25% more at that time and Alkyhol was 50% less that NY State Prices, lmao.

Was the helium for the funny voices? Since helium in short supply may I suggest U run Hydrogen? (Can U say Hindenburg? lol)

don't burp around a campfire
