Thumbs down For 38 bucks!!

For $38bucks I'll keep wrapping up the excess off the outlet box on the grill gaurd. Sort of like the look of it any how. Pragmatic... solid front axle, eight foot bed, straight six diesel sorta guy. All work no play gets the job done.

I just use the stock block heater up here and we get -35 for a week or two at a stretch.

How does a block heater go. In place of one of the freeze plugs? The stock one I mean.

Yes, it goes in the freeze plug to the right of your oil filter on 318 and 360 engines.

I wish I could find a 1 foot outdoor extension cord for mine. It is actually too short!

Did our trucks come with block heaters in them or was that not an option?

it was optional, i may put one in this winter


all our diesel tractors have them, along with the KWs, the combine and my dads 6.0, believe me, a heavy duty John Deere or CAT diesel don't like to start when it's 0 out
