how long does it take for everyones heat to start gettin warm? mine takes 4ever not sure if i should get it looked at or if its normal

It should not take that long, maybe a mile. In about 20 degree temps thats all it takes for mine to start blowing some warm air. You might have a stuck thermostat or a problem with the flapper valves in the heat system. Does your engine temp gauge come up before you feel heat?

well i always warm my truck up an it seems like it could sit there for 5-8 min an still no be warm i dunno guess i'll tell them to look at it when i go get my oil change next week

If your just idling the engine is not going to warm up as fast as when your putting a load on it. My other truck was a diesel and then I had to let it idle so it would run good in cold weather but now that I have a gasser, I start and drive. If its around zero I would then let it warm for a while, but the coldest its been here with my new truck is around 10.

Haven't really timed it. I get some heat after about two miles. I live 3 1/2 miles from the interstate. As I pass under it, I'm getting heat. It's better after about another mile or so. Good point, though. Is the temp gauge up fairly quickly?
