heater blocks

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-Dec-02 AT 09:02 AM (EST)]When the heating element is plugged in, (over night), and the truck (X,PSD 2003), is started, why is the temp gauge at cold. Is it suppose to be this way? It seams that the truck is cold, and the glow plug doesn't go off right away. How does it work!

I HAVE A GAS BURNER IN MY X BUT I DRIVE BIG TRKS FOR A LIVING. WE USE BLOCK HTRS IN WINTER AND MY TEMP GUAGE IS ALWAYS ALL THE WAY AT THE BOTTOM WHEN I CRANK IT IN THE MORNING.THOSE GUAGES OPERATE IN RUNNING ENGINE TEMPS.SO WHILE IT MAY NOT REGISTER ON THE GUAGE,THE BLOCK HEATER IS DOING ITS JOB.JUST FEEL THE BLOCK (AT THE BOTTOM) ONE MORNING WHEN YOU HAVE NOT USED IT COMPARED TO WHEN YOU HAVE.
