I think I should quit reading threads in here, my block heater has been working perfectly for the last 5yrs I read this thread last night, and the dang thing didn't work when I plugged it in before going to bed IE it started rather hard this morning in the 15deg temp, and wasn't working at all.
Thanks alot<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZNxdm824BXUS' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_8_13.gif' alt='Throw Computer' border=0></a> just kidding of coarse I won't stop reading just really funny how things happen, heck the semi I drive went out of bumper to bumper warrenty last wed morning mid afternoon it developed an air leak talk about timing.
