Just an update on how my block heater is working:
Almost every night since I left Bellingham the night time low temperature has been between -20 and -24 below zero. I check the dash readout before starting the truck and in every case the coolant AND the oil temperatures have been at 104 deg F.
I didnt expect it to keep the engine oil warm and I am not sure how it is doing it whether it is through the oil cooler or some other means but I am pleased with it's performance for sure. And it makes atarting a breeze in really cold weather. I have only cycled the glow plugs once as I would at any time before starting.
