Need heat.

Now that the temp is dropping my wife is complaining about the lack of heat in her 2000 7.3 Ex. She has an autostart and usually runs the truck for 15 minutes before driving. I am going to block the radiator with a sheet of cardboard to help, any other suggestions. Also, because the factory seat warmers lack any heat, is there any after market replacements that can be placed between the foam and the leather and still plug into the factory switch?

Since you have a diesel - doesn't it come equiped with a engine block heater that plugs in to 110 ac? If so, it would help to plug it in.

It definitly gets plugged in; the diesel doesn't do much without it.
