so i am waiting on a module to come in so that my truck will want to start when its cold. in the mean time its very cold here i go to plug my truck in tonite and it keeps popping the gfi. Any ideas?? Ive tried to use a different cord and plug into a different outlet with no luck... help! I'm afraid if i don't get it to plug in then its not gonna start in the morning. By the way 2005 6.0

Check your cord for the block heater. It maybe shorted out, which will trip the GFI plug.

the heater element mayby shorted out and needs replaced. Which is unusual. But it is a man made thing and can go bad.
