To be honest I can't remember. However, I did try jiggling the gear lever, because there was one time a while back when I had a no-start. Turned out that I had left the truck in reverse.
It's a Kats 1000w freeze plug heater. After I installed it and used it for the first time, I did feel the engine block, and it was very warm. However, I have not tested it again since. I will do that after work today. Maybe it burned out already because it was faulty, or maybe the plug somehow...
Yup. I drain them after every use. Usually only get moist air coming out... Never any liquid water. Air dryer blasts out a decent amount of water when I am around see it. That's an interesting idea about removing the PPV valve. However, wouldn't that make the CTIS system go into action sooner...

Drove my truck to work again today.. Man that block heater is ineffective :( This morning it was between 25 and 30 degrees. I left it plugged in for 9 hours last night. Even so, the temp gauge didn't move at all until I was just pulling into the parking lot at work (2 or 3 miles from my house.)...
Sorry! Somehow I completely forgot to respond to you :(
I can't post links to eBay here.. It is frowned upon. However, if you do a search there for 8" military intake, you will see what I am talking about. I ended up picking one up to take a look at. When I looked over the truck the other day...
