Hey all,
I recently ordered a freeze plug engine block heater for my 99 4.0 SOHC. I am going to install it myself and was wondering if anyone has done this before and could offer any tips? Where on the engine was the factory installed 4.0 SOHC block heater installed? I have never knocked out a freeze plug before so I really want to make sure I don't screw it up.
I am also thinking of putting a space heater on the interior that will turn on an hour before I leave for work in the morning so I can melt the frost off the windows.
The block heater will be on a timer as well because there is no need for it to run all night. I just want faster warmup without having the vehicle idle for long periods.
Thanks!
