Running Johnny Jaws in 40 to 50 Below Weather
If you're running routes in cold-weather country, the first thing you want to know about any new attachment is whether it'll hold up. Johnny Jaws is built to handle the same conditions your front-load truck handles, including rain, snow, and below-zero cold that stops a lot of equipment.
Drivers in this clip have run Johnny Jaws in 40 to 50 below with zero issues, including regular service in North Dakota where 30 below is common. The unit runs off your truck's existing air system, the same one running your air brakes, so as long as you're keeping up on routine maintenance like emptying your air tanks and changing air dryers every six months, freezing isn't a concern. No alcohol in the tank, no winterizing rituals. Same maintenance you already do.
