ill have a look later today then.
yea i hear diesel gels at 32F, but they make winter blends that change that... so i guess just start filling with the winter blend before it gets 32* out would work. if that solves it i dont think youd need a heater for it.
im afraid to test the block heater, when they undercoated the truck they got overspray on the prongs(rubber type undercoating) :/

my only breakdown was the day i bought it, low on fuel, switch to 2nd tank and everything locked up, couldnt turn, braked hard. so many things running in my mind i dont even remember if the truck was still running or not, i swear the gas pedal was still making it go, just not much.
found out i have the 1/4th of a tank sending unit issue. switched back to front tank and it ran fine.
