Use a "winter front" when it's cold.

Yeah...for you guys up THERE I guess a winter front is pretty much a MUST-

but last time I asked for one--down here in the lower 48- was told Freightliner Century & Columbia--is never suppose to be run with one......

scratches head.....Now why is that? Bob! hey Bob? why is that? you know anything bout that?

Now why is that?



Because you aren't supposed to block the charge air cooler in front of the radiator, will lead to a massive loss of power.

As far as KW goes, there is NO filter that I am aware of, I have had the system apart to change the fan motor and the heater core and NEVER saw a cabin filter or a bunk filter.

There is a fresh air opening on the right hand side behind the air cleaner and it goes straight in the system.

There are after market filters available, but I don't have one.

As far as the drivers window fogging, I think its because the window is warm and when I get in the cold comes off me and fogs it up, been living with it so long it really doesn't bother me.
