Hello all,
my question today is dealing with winter fronts, especially when to remove and if it would benefit to remain on all year.
I drive a 2014 EcoDiesel Laramie Longhorn. The truck was purchased in January with around 90k, used.
After purchasing, Installed a Fia winter front, in an effort to lower heating times and eliminate how much carbon that fills the DPF in lower temps.
I live in Michigan, so temps have been anywhere from 0-30 F over the last 3 months.
I do ALOT of short city trips and I’ve noticed I have to do a regen about once every 1.5-2 weeks.
With the spring approaching and temps anticipated to be 40-55 during the day, would KEEPING the winter front on be beneficial to my truck? Would this help heat it up faster and continue to eliminate the soot that accumulates? Would it damage the engine or be unwise to keep a front on during higher temps? Seems like it would be beneficial if I’m doing a lot of city driving and short trips.
thanks for any input!
