Replaced the plug on my block heater...
My block heater cord was cracked and fraying near the plug and stopped working a week ago so I cut it off a few inches down and replaced the plug with a HD grounded one from Menard's (save big $$$....
 )I've got her plugged in now and we'll check later to see if she's working alright. The only other option is to buy a new block heater for 45.00.

Hello! Nice to hear from you...
Changing the plug worked like a charm, thanks. Well, all in all, Liesl the Diesel is faring alright. We've also had VERY cold weather here but when plugged in she starts up and runs beautifully.
I had one weird episode after running down to Chi-town for a trade show. After running on the highway at around 65-75 mph for several hours we got off the highway only to have her run rough and almost stall while waiting for a stop light. Probably just a little piece of carbon or something because she was fine after that. I'm still not entirely pleased with MPG, though: I seem to be getting only around 23 mpg highway? I'm not sure how to tackle that issue... How are you doing? You're in Rockford, right?
