did anyone ever build in a blockheater in to an engine that old? We go to minus 40 or further and I want to drive the truck in every month of the year.We can be plus 15 during the day and minus 25 during the night, so I would not be able to use the truck from November till May, a heated shop is not a posible solutions with the energy prices as they are now.
Thanks for any input

Just a thought,

Be careful how you route the cord,install it exactly as the directions recommend,and use the shortest,thickest extension cord possible,to get the most efficiency.

Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain...that is where crappy ideas come from.

that waterheater thing sounds good I can take it out when it gets warmer and be "original" again, I'll do a search. I have an oilpanheater but it doesn't do a great job, I use it as aditional heater on the Dodge. Dodge is getting oilpump problems, but that comes with the age I guess
Thanks
