Block heater

[Sportsnutim]

Well it seems my block heater as gone bad. I have been plugging it in during the cold days and when I start the truck in the morning it has been hard starting. After the truck warms up it starts fine: so I am assuming it isn't the batteries. Also when I plug it in usually their is a electric current and also check the extension; not the problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Where is it located at and how much of a hassle is it to replace it? Should I keep it plugged in all the time? Or just during the cold months. Thanks.

sounds to me like youve got a glow plug problem.

what temperatures are you talking about? i dont plug in my truck unless its below 20, and have started on second pull when it was 12 without being plugged in. im with brushpilot, either GPs or GPR.
