It was 19F here yesterday, which is cold but not nearly as cold as its going to get here in the Tundra lol (not really).
I tried to warm my car up but after 20minutes I only had Luke warm air and the coolent temp gauge didn't register until I drove it a 1/4 mile. The CVT didn't whine in reverse which is usually what it does when its cold so that was fine.
The only thing I can think of is that the heat is being stolen by the transmission cooler/heater and maybe other components? I thought maybe it was low on coolent, but this isnt what happens when your low on coolent I don't believe
Or am I just impatient haha.
I often work where the only place to warm up is my car, it looks like I'm going to have to start it 30minutes early if I want to get warm
