block heaters question - Neil & Pat LeKander - 11-20-2005 08:43
Hi Guy, I have found that 2-3 hours of block heater time is fine and results
is a good clean start except in the very worst of conditions (<0 degrees F).
The problem is getting up that early before an early morning departure. I
might also add that I always leave my PT-36 6V92 plugged in to AC until
after I fire the engine.
Regards,
Neil

block heaters question - Blair - 11-20-2005 10:10
You might want to read the instructions that comes with the block
heater. It specifically states
to not have the coach/truck plugged in to the AC when starting as it will
drastically shorten the
life of the heater...

block heaters question - Blair - 11-20-2005 11:23
Hi Rob! Yep, I found out the hard way. Burned mine out and
replaced....found that juicy tidbit in the package and called Wayne's.
Said that a lot of fleet operators go in early and unplug all the tractors
before the drivers show up for work.....Blair in Oregon
