I put one in a few years ago. Really glad I have it now. Checked it yesterday and my ect was 99°. Perfection
I just keep my truck in the garage
Yep makes a world of difference in how fast that heater goes to working on start up too.
Why don’t you let ME keep my truck in your garage fren?
It takes forever for my F-250 to get warm enough to start blowing warm heat, like 15 minutes or so on the highway.
I haven't had a block heater since the 70's while stationed at Ft Leavenworth Ks. These zero temps are the norm there in the winter. The 10.5 compression ratio in the GT 390 Ford didn't like rolling over at 6am and the company commander didn't take well to late arrivals or excuses.
Mine actually fit in the lower radiator hose. Cut in half, insert and add two hose clamps.
Every apartment in the complex we lived in had an outlet at the front door for block heaters.
It was sure nice getting into the vehicle with instant heat.

NOPE.
Yep. Back in Oregon the highways are only 55mph and my 5.9 Cummins would barely be warm by the time I got to work. Here I’ve noticed that the 65mph speeds I get up to temp way faster but still nothing compared to a gas car
Yeah it’s weird. Seems like our tractors blow heat faster after startup than our pickups.
Diesel? My 250 with the 7.3 gasser starts blowing warm at one mile from the driveway which in the country is just a couple minutes.
