No harm, but your pocket book might feel it. It uses a lot of electricity. But it will melt the snow off of the hood. Definite plus.....
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yea most block heaters pull 750 to 1200watts. When I was in montana i invested in two pad heaters for the batteries that pulled 20watts each to keep them warm. Then the block heater had a timer to come on at 5am if i was gonna head out at 7am.Is there any harm in keeping it plugged in to long in temps this low?
Like that grill guard, what did you make it out of?My oldest boy Logan and I took advantage of the beautiful 6 degree weather and installed a block heater on the nhc 250 in the m-813.

I left it plugged in and I will check to see if it will start when we return from a Christmas party at the "outlaws" house.
I just got the big harbor freight one for 300$ then took it bac when i was done.Got my M925 trans completely prepped for removal today. Only 4 bolts to go. My new transmission has been stuck in limbo on the freight trailer due to weather. Was hoping to drop and install today but that looks like a Monday or Tuesday job at this point. Only want to rent the jack once.
To get to this point the first time took like 8hrs but we had it done today in under 3. After you do it a few times, swapping the trans isn't so bad.
Thank you for that. I was formulating an appropriate reply and you spoke up first.I hate to say this but that amounts to theft! As a small business owner and someone with morals I just can't condone when someone needs something and they wont buy it but they will go to a store "purchase" something use it and they take it back. That amounts to stealing. A company in good faith sells you an item, nothing is wrong with it. You use it for what it is intended for. It works just fine. You get finished with it and return it in used condition and want all your money back. I cry THIEF! Your taking time and money from someone or some company. They took the time to employ someone pay them, put their own money out to buy the product. For you to return it and make them pay someone to do it. Then loose the money and still not get the money they have already paid out (wages). Then they can't sell it as new so it goes on sale for cheaper. Loosing more money. For anyone that does this I rank you right up there as some one that just goes to the store and takes the item without paying. But it this case it's even worse because you rub their faces in it. But hey that's just my 2 cents.

Great job. I would love to get a wrecker.Getting this thread back on track...
I took the wrecker out for a spin this past week to stretch her legs. I got a call from a friend who was trying to load up a Swanson's truck that was hit bad on the passenger side and refused to move so I went over to lend a hand. 14K was the empty weight of the truck and she moved it like it was a toy; roughly 8K on the front end. The wrecker is such a good truck.

I guess lucky for me that I have no belief in any sense or the other. If it is your day to go it is just it and where you go you go. I am not to worried about it or whatever rule number I fall under in all honesty.Well I can assure you that the # 11 spot on God's list was claimed by the Chinese and their evil deception of tool production and quality, or lack thereof.
It is a shame what is taking place in this country, our lack of jobs, the lack of quality readily available tool stores, and our state of the nation as a whole. I blame the Chinese and their junk. I don't own harbor freight tools and will not, would rather do without. I understand why Simp took the jack back, the Chinese stole his job and he couldn't afford to keep his jack. They deserve a little salt in the wound from time to time. It is so sad that people think harbor freight is the only place to shop for tools and are not willing to pay for a quality item that their grandchildren might one day get some use out of.
I do not agree with Simp's methodology, but I think that everyone should look at the other side of the coin before flaming him.
