Ya i doubt ill use it too often. Gotta get one of those timers to put it on if i did use iy. Mayb plug it in before a snow storm. Who knows. But no i didnt get one of those battery warmers. Unless it used to have one and got removed.

 

If your truck was meant for upper US or colder areas, they usually come equipped with them, Being from Canada , 99% of vehicles here come standard with em.

You can also get what is called an inline heater, which is essentially a pump that heats and circulates your coolant constantly while plugged its plugged in.. a little more involved to install that a block heater, but your interior stays a little warmer if you have the heater set to the on position.... doesn't have to be running, just the radiant heat from the circulating fluid warms the truck a bit more than a block heater.

 

My 99 has a block heater. The first person who purchased the truck bought it in Portland Oregon.

 

I have one of the plugs as well, but mine is actually a battery warmer. I thought it was a block heater at first, and I was happy. Then I followed it to the battery.

 

I have both on mine, Although I live on the east coast and where I am at the weather doesn't get super cold, I am still grateful for the battery warmer mostly.. you definitely don't want to freeze your battery... That's just bad voodoo..
