Do I need a block heater?

Yeah, just like the PCV or not PCV thread. Beating a dead horse!

The circulating 1500 watt heater is the Cadillac but if the engine is out, install a block heater on both sides if they'll clear. Just use one at a time, if one goes out, you still have the other. I lived in AK for 24 winters, I'm speaking from experience. It can't hurt to install a battery blanket either. If you have an automatic, get a pad heater for the tranny pan and while you're at it, a pad heater for the engine oil pan too. Don't plug in overnight either, get a timer or plug in a couple hours before you need to start it, saves electricity.

I drove a worn out farm find 77 k10 with a tired 400 during the winter of 2017. I believe the average jan temp for sw ND was 11f with lows of -35f. Never plugged it in, Never once failed to start but She had to idle 15 minutes before it was able to drive without sputtering under acceleration. Man i was an idiot. Get a block heater
