Hello to you all.From cold Canberra a quick hello from a Big triton fan. Not much of a off-roader (did all that with the pajero ) now in the triton it's more of a tug. For our jayco HAWK (with the remap + other things I have added) I'm very happy with it.....cheers

Welcome, did you buy the Tri on its heater capabilities? Do you have to run heaters in the garage so it doesn't freeze over. How do you find it compares to the Paj ?

My truck is not a happy chappy in the morning, complains a whole lot on startup if it is below -2 (which it is most mornings in winter)

I just make sure i start it atleast 15 mins before i want to leave, keeps her happy and means i have a very short dash from the warmth of the front door to the warmth of the drivers door. :lol:

Hey mate, I would look at changing your oil viscosity to suit the colder morning starts. Mine is doing fine going from around a corner, one set of lights and straight into 100km.

ALSO!

Thanks Mate, thought of that. Running 15w-40, so technically should be good for well below 0, but might change to 5w-40.

ModSquad, we will have to give you a tour of the brindies one weekend.
