Thanks for the link, I might try that out. I already have the winter front from dodge an engine block heater, so I might stick with this.

Couple of hours is fine. Unless it were going to be in the negatives, then I would leave it plugged up.

Leave it in all night, no need to get up in the middle of the night to plug it in.
