Grill Blanket-thingy?

[AmishMike]

Even with a block heater, diesels do not stay warm when driving in cold temperatures. A winter front is key.
They also don’t warm up at idle. Do the Jeeps have a high idle for the diesels?

Speaking of cold as a witches t..
Coldest that I can remember was -35*F with 30 mph winds on top of that. First time that I saw gasoline freeze. After work I went out to start my old El Camino and no luck. The guy I worked for laughed and told me what the problem was. I pulled a spark plug to find crystallized gas that you could melt and light. I swapped out 4 plugs and no luck. I took the shop truck home that was newer with electronic ignition and out of the wind. Blew the heater core in that on my (45 minute) way home.
Next morning, my El Camino fired right up. And I had a heater core job to do…..

I have no idea what the grill blanket thingy is actually called, but just curious if I should be using one on my 2022 ecoDiesel? I live in northern BC and we just had a full week at -30 C

Can you find some foam blocks to jam between the bars of the grille?

See, I'm the exact opposite. I'll take cold and snow over heat and dripping humidity, hurricanes, dinosaurs, ,snakes, lizards, and cockroaches the size of baseballs every single day. Besides, if I'm cold I can always put on another layer. If I'm hot, there is only so much I can take off before women and children are traumatized and the police get involved.

Winters in snow country are not bad at all, except we still have the same idiot drunken tourists you do. They just come here to ski, snowboard, and snowmobile instead of golf and sunbath.

It's also a good excuse to buy a Jeep. "Honey, I need a Jeep for when it snows!" (of course she says the same thing.)

You get sweater puppies. I get thongs and bikini's. Most of those shouldn't be wearing a thong or a bikini if you know what I mean. I usually pipe up and say "Man The Harpoons."
