Block heater temps!
I just installed my block heater cord. I am pretty sure I did it 100% correct. What is a temp I can expect my coolant to reach after being plugged in overnight? Is about 100* right or should it be hotter? I just want to make sure it is functioning right!
Thank You,
Jason

A lot of local fire companies leave their trucks plugged in all the time when not on a call.

Id get a timer and just run it a few hours out of the day to maintain the temp(if thats what youre after), or have it set to come on 2-3 hours before you are going to start it up to leave...
