Is there a universal block heater that does not involve removing the allen bolt and inserting the block heater or do you recommend that I get an MB block heater installed in the car. How difficult would it be to install it on the car?
Man, I feel your pain. I am just north of Frederick, MD. This is my first winter with a diesel and it took FOREVER to start the thing. Tomorrow is supposed to be just as bad. I am planning on having a block heater installed as well. Good luck.
