Do any of you guys have a oil pan heater on your truck. AM thinking about buying one. If you have one does it seem to work good. Another thing i might buy is a heater pump that circulate warm engine coolant through entire engine. It hooks into your heater hoses. If you have that then you dont need to use the block heater. My stock block heater sucks big time. I even got under there and checked it i didnt think it worked.

Replace your block heater. An oil pan heater isn't going to work as good. If the factory heater is working properly, the radiator will be warm to the touch on a 20 degree morning after being plugged in 3 hours.
