They'll help ANY engine turn over easier on frigid days, and reduce the time for oil to get to bearings.
If I ever had to park my vehicle outside at temps under 0 F, I would definitely have one and use it.

I ordered the block heater when I bought V10 Crew Cab in May 1998. Salesman said I don't need it in Virginia. I told him for $30 I would get my money worth if I only used it a few times.
Now I need to go set up my timer/extension cord for the first time this year.

i had an aftermarket on my 83 benz diesel. it was nice to have warm air soon after starting. car would not start below zero w/o it. bought it at checker auto parts. i also have on on my 02 jetta tdi. recently it has been on all the time. both heaters are the in line variety but they work well.

I have the heater on my 2006 V-10, don't need it much here in Texas. And every so often someone will ask what the cord is hanging down behind the bumper is.....I just look 'em square in the eye and explain the benifits of owning one of the very few Ford
