Block heater question
Hey every one where did you find the end of the cord for your block heater? And could someone post a pic of their block heater so I can make sure the little plug like thing with an orange cord coming off of it is the block heater.
Thanks for the help.

It might be zip tied to the frame inside where the tow hook is bolted to the frame. It's a black cord. Three prong house 110v plug.

Thanks every one I found the plug and the truck is plugged in and getting nice and she will be nice and warm tomorrow morning.
Does anyone know how much those power inverters drain from batteries? Because I was thinking that maybe you could hook up a seperate battery to a power inverter and my truck could be plugged in and keeping warm when I am at school. Or is this plan a bit too over elaborate?

I still think you will be OK as long as your batteries, battery cables and GP system is healthy. It takes a long time for these engine blocks to go stone cold like an overnight sitting.

I was thinking a second battery hooked to a power inverter and a timer so it will start warming up at 3:30pm which is 2 hours before I get out of practice.

You would have to find a HUGE power inverter to tackle that task. Also I feel the same way everybody else does, will kill a battery in about 30 minutes. I let mine sit one time last year for 8+ hours at about 0 degrees and it started. If you are that worried about it, I would look for a plug one the side of some building or a tree where they plug in x-mas lights.
