It's all relative. I live in NH and when it's 80 out I'm dying and have to stay inside with the AC on full. I'm sure people from Texas would laugh there azz off at me.

I hate to tell you, but you're pretty far North for me. That'll stand until someone from Brownsville comes along.

BE PREPARED
GOOD LUCK! AND REMEMBER ALL THE PEOPLE FROM UP NORTH WHO COME TO TEXAS IN SUMMER TIME AND GET HEAT STROKE? WELL YOU ARE GOING TO THEIR NECK OF THE WOODS NOW AND GUESS WHAT? COLD IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN HEAT OR ABOUT THE SAME IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR IT!

Trucks automatically shutting off? Mine does that (it's an '04 century with a detroit series 60); all you have to do to prevent it from shutting off is turn up the idle (just flip the cruise control switch upward). You should be doing that anyway to prolong the life of the turbo.

If something bad like being stranded in below zero weather happens, shouldn't the co. send some help for you? It sounds strange to me that they would let you sit there and 'freeze to death'- thats just wrong.

Thermos for hot water and thermos for cold water. a little camping shovel, hammer, rubber mallet, wd 40 or super tech from walmart, anti gel for gas and then deicer bought up north 2 use in windshield washers. if u buy the deicer any where down south it won't be cold enough for Kansas and Missouri weather where ice can hit and throw temperatures to -10 degrees with windchills of -35 degrees and your windshield wipers will freeze to your windshield. Yes I am from the Midwest and yes it does get cold here, but when you are talking Wisconsin, Iowa, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Montana, Idaho it gets colder. BE PREPARED!!!! I HAD A TRAINER WHO ALMOST FROZE TO DEATH IN MONTANA WAS STUCK IN TRUCK OVER NIGHT WITH WINDCHILL AT MINUS 70 DEGREES BELOW ZERO, THANKS 2 WERNER TRUCKS AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF! THAT IS WHY I QUIT WORKING FOR WERNER!!! GOOD LUCK AND MOST OF ALL BE CAREFUL!!! LEARN HOW TO CHAIN UP!!!
