The name Packerfan leads me to believe you are in the upper midwest, and could be looking for easier starts in a gasser model also.

The car is a diesel and it has the factory installed block heater but it does not work. I plugged it in overnight and the next morning the engine was ice cold to the touch. I'm not sure if the heating element is burned out or what is wrong with it and I did read other posts where people said it was next to impossible to remove the old one to install a new one. This is my reason for attempting to install an external tank type heater.
Yes you are correct, I live in Green Bay (the frozen tundra) where temps are below zero 11 months of the year!
