How long does your 5.7 Hemi take to reach operating temperature in the winter months? I ask because mine seems to take forever and i get about to the first marker on the temp gauge after 20 minutes of warming up in under 30dF temperatures. I usually let it warm up every morning in the winter for this reason for about 20-25 minutes, after i leave and drive about 5 miles on the highway it is up to full operating temp then and the heat is blasting. This has been like this as long as i can remember since i had bought it (8 months in 2007)
I ask because a guy at work bought a new Tundra with a V8 and he says he gets full heat in less than 5 minutes?! Do these new vehicles have electric heat or something?
Only thing i can think of is that my tstat is stuck open, but i replaced that back in 2009 or so for whatever reason and I am pretty sure the problem was happening before that. Do they just take that long to warm up before the heat is really kicking in?
Thanks
