winter starting, block heater

[shadowbroker]

before winter arrives, i would like to put some form of heating onto my engine or radiator, ect.

I have a broken glow plug, was like it when i got the truck, seems somebody has tried to weld over the glow hole too. im not removing the head to fix it, rather just pre-empt any issues this winter with pre heating.

been on ebay and its full of things in USD$, and lots of them.

so my question has anyone got a link for the type of think i need, to heat the radiator/water, or engine block or something please.

Im more than capable of fitting any sort of heater needed, just need direction on what item i need for this so i can have it installed before winter.:bow:bow:bow

Thank you again in advance for any help anyone can give me.

yes there are heater fittings that you can install into the radiator pipes that will keep you motor cosy and warm, but at what cost to your lecy bill? I would think twice before embarking on such stuff, cheaper to sort the motor, Rick
