hockey_puck Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Back in the Great White North. Happy to see we are sharing some lovely winter temps with the eastern folks! Left one of those intelligent trickle chargers on the Journey and it started right away after sitting a month. First hockey game today, and no they didn't need to call the paramedics to revive me! Things are good. H.P. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman425 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Welcome home. It's a balmy 9 degrees here now!

And Watertown, NY recorded the lowest temp in the Lower 48 States today @ -37 degrees F. Two words. Block Heater. Used up here for decades.

Journeyman425 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes, my 300M is plugged in as we speak. Lord knows why I didn't order the block heater on the Journey - must've had a brain fart but honestly we don't see temps like this very often. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindSquirrel Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 block heater I'd never even heard of these. I learned something today! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'd never even heard of these. I learned something today! It replaces one of the freeze plugs, and then plug it in to an electrical outlet. The electricity keeps the engine oil warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSquirrel Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I would have thought the electricity would power a heating coil of some kind... Similar to a brew belt but on a larger scale dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 There is a "U" shaped heating coil that goes into the engine block, through the hole where the freeze block was. Sort of like an electric hot water heater, but on a much smaller scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSquirrel Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I see. Thanks! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
