Engine Block Heaters - who wants a discount?

**Danny** · 01-09-2007, 11:44 AM

Now that winter is here, I was thinking about putting the engine block heaters on sale this month. Any interest?

I'm looking at a price of about $42 + shipping, so probably $50ish total. Price could vary if enough people are interested and I can get Jesse to give us a bigger price break through the Shop.

MAYBE
how hard is it to install?
how long does it take to heat up?

Install -- You'll need to be able to jack your car up and reach up around the back of the engine and insert the element and plug a cable into it in a confined space. Use jackstands. There is lots of good information here on it, and that helps with the install. I spent two hours on it, but that was more just looking and studying than actual wrench turning or anything.

I'm interested, but don't let my wife know. She's already groaning that I drive for mileage now. Once I get it installed, I'm not sure how I'm going to hide the extension cord.
