Default Block heaters

I decided to order one from H and A Accessories seeing as the cold weather is rolling in. I did it to help benefit the longevity of the engine and reduce cold starts.

Anybody else have one?

Seems like a decent idea, but here in Houston it's totally unnecessay.

i havnt needed one over in wisconsin yet, i just get a hefty battery and the cars good to go. theres really only a hand full of days you may actually need one, thats over here. but yeah if you have the money it seems like it would be a good investment.

I'm not entirely sure if I will even use mine, as there will be a 3rd car available for 6 months starting in January. Regardless, I think it's still a nice option to have.

Regardless there's only 1 garage bay, and I'm only in it 2 days of the week max.

i think with a block warmer, you'll get instaneous heat when you start your car. this is because the heater unit heats the coolant inside the coolant jackets of the motor.

instant heat on cold days is always a plus.
