My first trip out west was an eye opener for sure. Woke up in the am only to discover my sled had apparently seized up according to my failed attempt to give the rope a pull... Friend says "yup, normal". Put a hair dryer on it, and pretty soon, she pulled over.
This got me thinking. Has Anyone ever try one of those silicone block heaters on their cold Cat big bores?
I would think a 50 amp silicone heater stuck somewhere on the bottom side of the block (heat rises) would heat the motor up enough they'd start when it's bitter cold. They come in 12v or 120v, so you could plug it into an accessory outlet on the truck or trailer, or plug it into the wall outlet.
Thoughts?
