Truck maintenance in winter (IV) Heating and battery

When it's cold outside the truck it's also cold in the cabin. For that we cannot forget to have the entire system of the heating and to carry a blanket, because you never know where you may have to stop for the night. Therefore, it is necessary to review the autonomous, the gas expulsion tubes and, of course, the rubber door insulators to prevent the windows from fogging up, and prevent heat from escaping from the passenger compartment. The experts recommend that the heating remain stable between 20 and 22 degrees both while driving and during periods of sleep.

For avoid surprises such as the engine not starting when starting a cold working day it is highly recommended to protect the terminals from battery and continually check the electrolyte levels and also its quality. If the truck is diesel, you will have to make sure that the fuel heaters are working properly or the engine will refuse to start.
