Need a Block Heater?
I found a deal on some NOS Zero Start block heaters the other day and thought immediately of the good folks here.
I picked up one for myself + 4 spares (that's all the guy had) I figured I can pass on a good deal to people here on the board.
They are Zero Start brand, 1000W, and top quality - made in the USA. Brand new in original pristine packaging with instructions.
Very similar to this one on eBay
GM 6.2 6.5 L Diesel Chevy GMC 1000w Engine Block Heater - eBay (item 110630592075 end time Jan-30-11 14:10:14 PST)
For a lot less money.
$35 each + actual shipping cost to the first 4 people to request one by sending me a PM.

Kinda surprised that no one needs one of these. I know it was the best deal I had seen on one like this. Figured there would be others around here that needed one too.
Hmmn, I guess there's always eBay...

even if it's a $1/kW (and it ain't) that's $40 a month, creature comforts aside it's still a small price to pay for reduced engine wear if you ask me...

If that works for you that's great. A lot of older trucks in colder climates need a little "help" - even if the GP and starting system are in tip top shape...

If not you could always put one in the front and rear freeze plugs on the passenger side...

Actually I have the 1.5kW heater in mine so I'm good there, but for folks living in real cold places two 1kW heaters may not be a bad idea. And I was asking if it can go on the driver-side of the engine cause I'm not sure how having two of them on the same side will affect the block - remember how the old 6.9s engines were cracking at the heater, well something like that...
