Buy a 110v inline heater/pump. They don't cost much more that a freeze plug element.I've been trying to convince my mechanic to put a freeze plug block heater on my 6.0 gasser, he won't touch it. Keeps telling me to silicone a pad on my oil pan. Hate those cold starts.
That's what I used back in the day. Thinking back, I think they recommended removing the thermostat during winter so the warm water could circulate freely.They make lower radiator hose clamp on 110v heaters also.
But wouldn’t that keep your engine cooler and make it take longer to warm up? Idk, I’ve seen threads where guys say to drill a 1/16” hole in the flat part of a t-state to allow more flow if your vehicle is running hotter than you’d like. (And yes I am well aware of the irony of having to remove your t-stat in order to drill said hole when you could just pay the $15 and drop in a lower temp one with less effort)That's what I used back in the day.

I think engineers are stupider these days than they used to be. Except for dodges cuz they are clearly far superior and well engineered stillI wouldn't have a clue where a thermostat is located on the current engines. Some of the water pump replacements have to be done by pulling the engine now. They are internal.
What kind of weird solicitation is that?Why don’t you let ME keep my truck in your garage fren?
I'm going back to the mid 70's on recollection but your correct. Block heaters were new for me at the time. If I remember right, got mine from JC Whitney. The instructions said to remove the thermostat so the heat could circulate. The heater worked as soon as one got into the vehicle, and the engine did run cooler. No need to warm up the engine.But wouldn’t that keep your engine cooler and make it take longer to warm up?
