Block Heater

So, Just got orders to Alaska. Going to be driving there during February. Everything I read suggests a block heater. Can't really find anything on installing one. I am buying a 2012 F150 with the 5.0 in it.

Looking for recommendations on where to buy one and if I can I can install it myself.

Thanks!

Go on Tasca Ford Parts and buy one. You won't regret it.

For extra insurance, you can get an onboard battery tender:

Get a nice, heavy duty outdoor extension cord and hook it all up and put it on the grid. Your truck will thank you.
