Default Coolant/Block heater?

Anybody using one? I have an 06" 5.7 Hemi and just installed a Wolverine Oil Pan heater. Worth every penny having used them in the past. I was however looking into adding a coolant heater. The kind that attaches to the heater hose. Has anybody used one with there Ram? If so, brand and review?

I just ordered the OEM block model from the local Stealership. $69.00 and installs in 20 minutes with no coolant loss. Apparently there is a port for it above the starter that is dry. Just loosen the starter and move it out the way, drop this thing in, tighten it up and put the starter back and your done.
