You have other issues, well beyond what the factory engine heater is designed for. This is no fault of the factory heater.
No exaggerating here, the factory engine heater is way too tiny (400 watt) for that big engine block in below zero weather. The "Kat's" heater I am talking about is 1500 watts and keeps the engine warm to 170 degrees no matter how cold and windy it is outside.
The only issue I have is that my glow plugs are broken and starting the engine in extreme cold is impossible without heating up the engine first.
