Congrats dude! Welcome back to the club.. 8-) Truck looks great :)

Thanks guys.. I will go out there and feel the block around it to see if it is working. EDIT: Just went out and popped the hood.. Block is toasty warm 8-) Thanks for the clarification guys.

Yeah I am just trying to verify if it works before the bad weather starts to hit. I know for sure that the cord is being powered.. It's a brand new tested outlet that I just installed, and also because I bought a nice heavy duty Ridgid cord with an illuminated end :)

Update: Block heater has been installed, and am trying to verify whether or not it is working properly. Temp outside is 30 degrees. I have been running the heater for 3 hours, and the temp gauge still has not moved. Is that normal for this ambient temp? Should I wait a few more hours to check...

That post was from 3 years ago :)

$350 for a good quality heavy duty truck alternator is not ridiculous in my opinion. As long as it's good for 5 years or so, and does what you say it will, I think it would be worth it.

Couldn't you test it in some kind of water tank? That way if something blows when it is submerged the water would contain it a bit.

Good times..

Because this can happen.. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?146306-Don-t-Use-Low-Range-Reverse-with-939-s-Here-s-Why-!!

Today I installed the cord for my block heater, and zip-tied it in place to keep it from touching the exhaust, etc. I plugged it into the new exterior cord that I bought, but left it unplugged in the garage. I just went out now and plugged it into the outlet. I'm going to give it 2 or 3 hours...

lol.. Nice

You done yet? :-P :jumpin: lol

Can't wait for the build thread.. ;) :jumpin::beer:

Same here.. Not looking forward to this Winter.

But that wouldn't be as cool ;)

Agreed.. Pictures are always great :)

Greetings from Illinois :) You're off to a great start!

Yeah... You wouldn't want that fan running all the time. From what I have heard on here it's a major power loss when it turns on.

Yup.. That's normal. It is air actuated, and does not come on until (if memory serves) 190 degrees.

Awesome dude! Congrats :) 8)
