I run a timer also. Mine kicks in 3 hours before I leave. Earlier if it's really cold. It costs me roughly $0.08/hour to run my double heater set up. I bet I save at least $1 on fuel every day by starting with a warmer engine that doesn't have as much unburnt fuel going out the exhaust when...

I know this thread is long dead, but I wanted to give anyone interested an update. I still have my original 600 watt heater in the drivers side rearmost hole. Now I also have a 600 watt heater in the passenger side middle hole. I had to remove the starter support bracket to put it in, but the...

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm not too concerned about the cost of the electricity, power is cheap up here. I had a lower rad hose inline heater in this truck.. It didn't do nearly as good a job as the frost plug heater I have now (same wattage), but it was some foreign brand name. Maybe the...

Made lots of sense to me, Joey. See, when it's cold here.. the thermostat on my 600 watt heater never shuts off (if it has a thermostat.. it might just be "always on". I don't know myself.) I can see that it's sucking lots of power if I check it with a meter. So, hopefully if there are 2 of...

Wow guys, thanks a ton for all the help. Jwaller - your situation is basically what I'm hoping for :). 1stDeuce - I agree that even heat would be best. Since I've already put one heater in the rearmost drivers side, I think frontmost passenger side would be best for even heating (so long as I...

I couldn't find any 1000w ones either.. but with 2 heaters on opposite corners of the engine totaling 1200w - I bet I'd be better off than if I had one 1000w. When you say L/S, do you mean the drivers side? (Sorry, just wanna make sure) I thought the instructions I got with my block heater said...

Hey guys, I've looked all over the site (so I think.. I'm computer stupid) and I couldn't find anything too specific about multiple block heaters. Here's the deal: I have an '86 M1009 with a stock 6.2. I put in a 600 watt freeze plug heater last year, it works great until it gets stupid cold...
