Block Heater ??
Do these powerstrokes have a oil heater instead of a colant heater? Seems like a long time I need to plug it in before it starts really well so was looking for the block heater and the oil filter housing was warm.After further inspection it lools like the heater is threaded into it.Do any of you circulating heaters on these.Alway found them to be the best. 94.5 psd
thanks
PS been -30 here at night for the last 15 days and need to keep it plugged all night for it to start nicely

Coolant heater only. It takes 3-6 hours to warm the coolant enough for an easy start. Depends on ambient temp. The block heater is on the oil filter housing but goes though the engine Oil cooler.
BTW: My ruck fired up in -20 temps. Good batteries and GP system along with syn oil make easier starting when cold.
