The man post pictures of the first snow becuase he is glad to see some white stuff and members on here give him a hard time about having his block heater plugged up. People need to mind there on business if you dont want to commment on the snow then dont comment at all.
He didnt ask anyone on here if running the block heater was a good idea. Its no sweat off anyones back but his if he runs it all the time or never. He could run it during the month of August if he wanted to. Give the man a break.

I didn't see anyone jump on him. It was just a comment, but some people get upset when anything is questioned, I guess. Tough noogies.

camaro 2 things
1) thats smart IMO, no one likes freezing there *** off in their trucks on a cold morning, i remember how slow my old f150 and my moms expedition would heat up
2) thank you! your pumping a few extra pennies (which isn't alot but more than last5oh) into the economy!

Even with colder weather, like say the -15C area, I start it, let it idle for about 2 minutes, and then go. I just take it nice and easy until I see that temperature gauge get closer to the operating temp.
I believe the owners manual recommends not letting it idle for long on a cold startup as well.
When the thermometer starts getting closer to -20, I plug the block heater in.

I highly recomend using a toaster. In about once ever ten years,we may get a week of temperatures in the teens. I do remember one year the temp hovered about 10F, for about 3 days. I thought Hell froze over!
Believe it or not, sometimes you here about some idiot that cracked a head because they never bother to check the antifreeze.

The "real" American way would be to park the truck in the garage and heat the garage. I do know one guy that still does this. (3 car garage) Just plugging in a block heater is pretty economical by comparison.
