RE: block heater cord
ORIGINAL: DBLR
Being you said it turned over slow it sounds like you don't have winter weight oil in it or your batteries are also being affected by the cold temps. Being your in MT? I would think you would have put 5w oil in to it no later then last Nov to help it start easier when the temps drop below zero. I know the 5w oil I use sure helps mine start when our lows are in the –10 to -17 below zero range we have had over the last few nights. Also if you park your truck in the garage you will only need the block heater to be on for about 4 hours. BTW, I sure hope you have a winter front on your truck like I have to help warm it up from those cool overnight temps.
