My TD has lived a calm and warm life in Texas, which is a good thing, because it is in great condition, but its a bad thing, because it has no block heater.... I can get the kit for about 50 bucks, but its posts like this that make me afraid that 240,000 miles has frozen that plug in with no hope of removal... I don't have a lift, a heated garage, or even my own driveway, and you guys are right, simple jobs can suck a lot under such circumstances. Maybe I'll just get one of those stick-on oil pan heaters and be done with it.. Not as elegant, but I'll probably be less likely to go insane..
I agree, just have a little sip of whiskey and relax. You can tackle it tommorow.
Peace,
