Please settle an argument!!!!!
Okay I am a fireman. We work in downtown Des Moines, Ia. At night we are allowed to pull our vehicles into the station to keep them warm and secure. We have the room to park 8 fullsized trucks (and have). The bay temp. is kept at about 67 degrees.
It's been getting cold here lately, tonights temp will be around 15 with slight windchill.
I have a co-worker who has a 7.3L power joke. Not a bad truck I'm just adverse to Fords (raised that way and don't know any better). He says I should pull my truck out onto the ramp in the morning and warm it up for 10 minutes before leaving for home. If not he says I should plug it in at night just like it were outside. I know I don't need to plug it in, but what about the warming? I say hello no, I just take it easy (like I always do) until I hit the freeway and she's warm.
Please weigh in on the matter, we are getting to close to all out war here in the fire station over this little matter!!!!! Kinda funny, but it's losing it's comical side quickly!
Thank you for all your comments, and they will be read by ALL concerned here at fire station 1 (H.Q.) in Des Moines.....:D
