water temp after plugged in. . .

Hey when you leave you truck plugged in over night. . . . and its somewhere between 20 and 30 degrees outside. . . what is the needle at on your water gauge? A short while ago when it was 20 to 30 degrees out. . . after being plugged in for a few hours or over night, the needle would just be in the normal range. Lately its been getting lower it seems. Its working. . . just doesn't seem to be working as well? Where are yours at?

I plugged mine in at 8:30 last night and 7:30 this morning i got into it and unplugged the heater, and the temp gauge was just tipped into the normal range. I drove 4 minutes to school and then let it sit for an hour and a half, the needle didn't move when i went to start it again. It was 30ish this morning.

I had mine plugged in for 3 hours the other day, and none of my needles were up when I started it, not even the Autometer water temp gauge. But, they did come up faster than if I hadn't plugged it in.
