Hi all, All the discussion on a improvised block heater has me thinking about a oil pan/block heater for my F-250 with a 5.4L gasoline engine. We use them for piston aviation engines all the time. They use much thicker oils.
My current climate does not really require one. However, I am planning on moving to a colder one in the next couple of years. I have looked in a few places on the Internet, however I have not found anything of use. I would like a permanent installation preferably one that can heat both the oil and block. If I have to buy a separate oil and block heater then I will.
Thanks for all your help, Michelle
