Magnetic block heater ?

[TNSS]

Anyone using this magnetic block heater? Should I stay away from them? I don't want to hurt my truck in any way.

As per my PM the 300W almost burned my Deuce and backhoe up. The case melted and smoked up the oil pans.

The 200Watt may work.


I just order a couple of cheap quartz heaters for under each one now from Northern Tool. $17 each. Since the vehicles are inside the barn they should do just fine.

I'm surprised nothing came up when you searched "block heater".

A lot came up when i searched block heater. But I didn't see anything specific to the magnetic type block heaters. There is a ton of info regarding the kat30101 style block heaters but this truck might get moved twice a year when it's cold so I was looking a a option outside of installing a kat30101. If you have any info regarding the magnetic style block heaters I would love to hear it or if you have the link?

I have no idea how yall found those. I searched the forum "advanced". And I did a Google search that only produced a million places to buy them. And your link looks way different than my google search,

The site admin added a custom Google search at the top of the page. It limits the searches to this site.

They just typed in "magnetic block heater" and hit the enter key. No magic involved.

I'm well I saw that but didn't use it because I already did a Google search. So i tried the advanced search function with out much luck. Good to know that is forum specific I had no idea thanks guys

You can limit the results to a specific site with any google search.

Just add "site:steelsoldiers.com" or any .com to your search string.

I do this when looking for details on NSN or part numbers on auction items.

Here is are some examples for a GM crankshaft

5740034 crankshaft sitearttarget.com
5740034 crankshaft site:wbparts.com
5740034 crankshaft site:tpub.com

You can also use the hack at any Google entry bar:


site:steelsoldiers.com magnetic block heater


That will give you a list as well.
