I've never had one take more than about 5 minutes to warm up.

2000 with 5.3, 2011 with 6.2, and 2024 with 6.6 all warm up pretty quick, and all have pumped out a LOT of heat once warmed up.

He was a great guy, and an asset to the Chevelle community

I knew him online for 25 years, but only met him in person once (Mid America ACES Regional show, 2007).
