2022 Ford F350 Tremor Diesel 2 Degree Cold Start and Snow Driving First Impressions

[@aimnc8959]

Duratrac is the go-to tyres for us working in the oil patch in Alberta, Canada. -40c without wind chill in winter is the norm, and it helps to plug in the block heater over night. Nice truck ! I just picked up my new 2022 F350 Lariat two weeks ago.

[@iAmMarchal]

Thanks Aim NC! Congratulations on your truck as well. I always say you guys are the ultimate testing environment for cold weather durability. I look forward to hearing your winter experiences.

[@aimnc8959]

@@iAmMarchal my old 2017 6.7L F350 had 213,000 km when I traded-in. These F350 are the best trucks, and will last with proper care. I love my 2017 but the new truck with Sync 4 got the best of me. lol.

Man that truck sounds amazing my dream truck 🛻

[@iAmMarchal]

Right?!?! Every time I start it I get that feeling. Like there’s a nuclear power plant in there.

[@dougmatheny854]

if you have a block heater it is good to use when its that cold. warms the oil for better lubrication. nice truck

[@iAmMarchal]

Someone on FB mentioned getting a timer too. Said instead of heating all night just do it for 3 hours before starting.

[@nbco55]

@@iAmMarchal That's what I do, you just need to make sure the timer is designed for the amperage ratings.

[@wideopenmx850]

Block heater doesn’t warm up the oil. The heat transfers through the block to the coolant. All the oil drains down into the lower oil pan. I had a 6.7 power stroke and tested cold oil temperatures with and without using the block heater and the difference was negligible

[@christopherdick8675]

Just plug her in don’t worry about timers and nonsense! I live in norther Canada and believe me the block heaters work

[@iAmMarchal]

@@christopherdick8675 yep. Canadians know cold that’s for sure.

[@dalehotz5744]

Try it when it’s 16 below. I’ve still got my 99 f250 7.3 diesel and was at a hotel a number of years ago with no ability to plug in the block heater. Had to tow it inside to warm up enough to start. If I use the heater, she still starts like a champ.

[@iAmMarchal]

Ouch. That would be sucky. I wonder if they’ve improved since 99 or you live in a state without the fuel additive at the stations? I hear people starting them at -31 in Canada. 🤷🏾‍♂️. Regardless I think block heater is a good idea.

[@dalehotz5744]

Yesterday, delivered was the Detroit Truetrac for the front dana super 60. I've never been a fan of the clutch style front differential like Ford uses for the Tremor (Dana clutch style limited slip). My 2022 F350 Platinum 6.7 tremor. I am hoping to get it installed by mid month. I'm waiting to see if Eaton will offer a Detroit Locker for the rear m275 in our Tremor's.

Beautiful truck...

[@iAmMarchal]

Thank you Michael!!

[@armedprophet3321]

Please !!! For the love of that beautiful powerstroke, run a fuel additive that provides lubrication for that cp4 high pressure fuel pump. If that pump goes it’s a 10k bill that is NOT covered under warranty at all. You need to run it in every tank of fuel. Not using a anti gel is one thing because your truck will run or it won’t and gelling fuel really won’t do much to hurt it, but when that cp4 high pressure fuel pump goes out you have to replace the pump, injectors, fuel lines and either have the tank cleaned or replaced. The pump is made by Bosch in Germany and over there the fuel has lots of sulfur in it and that is what lubricates the fuel pump. Here we can only get low sulfur fuel. This is a real and legit problem that all the manufacturers are dealing with. Please don’t take my word for it, do your research and you will see. Use Hot Shot everyday diesel additive, it’s cheap insurance, won’t void your warranty and will increase your cetane level which will also reduce your regens and give you better fuel mileage. It’s a win win.

[@ericyoungs9894]

What fuel additive do you recommend, how much and how often, thank you

[@armedprophet3321]

@@ericyoungs9894 I highly recommend “Hotshot Everyday Diesel” with EVERY SINGLE FILL UP. Buy it direct from Hotshot. Get two measurable bottles and when you have used one up order one, that way you always have it.

What is your thoughts on the 350 vs the 250 Tremor? I'm being told they are the same. I'm asking because I'm getting ready to buy one and trying to figure that out

[@iAmMarchal]

It’s my understanding they are the same. The non-Tremor 250 is different. It has 1 less leaf spring so not as beefy in the rear. I think you are fine with either 250 or 350 Tremor.

[@ParhelionGame]

They are the same truck. Every part, every nut and bolt (Except for the Vin, the badge, and the door sticker of course.) The reason you would choose one over the other comes mainly down to what amount you plan on legally towing (the 250 can technically tow the same capacity as the 350 but it can't "legally" do so due to the rated sticker.) And secondarily it comes down to which is cheaper to register in your state. Usually it will be the 250, but a few states the commercial registration is actually cheaper.

[@alltruckedup2024]

Do you have the rapid heat cab heater option? It's so nice to have instant heat on a cold day.
