Those stick on oil pan heaters work pretty good and I think you could probably peel it off and re-stick it to another pan later. We have no power thse days so I have taken to putting a dutch oven full of hot coals from the wood stove under the oil pan sump for about 40 minutes. Works good at the 17 below we had last week.
If you cleaned out your damn garage Bam!! You'd have a place to park it, or is it too tall now?
I used a generic Katz heater. Head is warm to the touch after a few hours. Neither my local napa or oreilly's listed a block heater for the 2.7 so they directed me to the dealership. 111$ got me searching on amazon. Heres what i came up with. Looks like they jacked the price to 20$, when I paid 14.50$ for mine. It'll probably go on sale again. Just make sure the 3.0 uses a 35 mm frost plug.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I8TPH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This looks like the best option. Not too spendy either. I've never pulled a freeze plug. Any tricks or tips?
Not a big fan of any type of heater that goes in the oil.That said Block heaters work great (used them since I was a kid, my dad has used them forever).My dad also used charcoal brickets to warm up the Case in the dead of winter.Put a bunch in a pan get them good and hot and slide them under and through a tarp over the top to keep the heat in. In a half hour or so it usually started right up (not the preferred method I might add, I would hate to have a fuel leak while trying that one).I grew up in western Montana so it was cold but not that cold.I spent two years in Cody Wy (not Alaska but gets cold enough) while living there we used a variety of different type of heaters. One hooked into the radiator hose and you had (needed) to leave you heater controls open so the water can pulse through the system. When it got in the -30 to -40 we also used heat lamps under the truck to try and warm the trany. Either the block heater of the inline are the best two I have used.
