Block heater cords on new Chevys

[snopro]

So whats GM's thinking here? To many block heater warranty claims? Trying to go green? You would think this would put more strain on engine parts and limit glow plug life?

I thought it was -13 but anyway. I assume its a no need to until -18. In their opinion.

Never done it on a duramax but those inline glycol heaters work pretty good too.

I would think it has something to do with the greenies and some idea they think works for us

And on the gassers it's -18 not sure on a diesel

I got -13 from the service counter guy in Rexberg ID when I bought the wife's enclave. Probably different... I guess.

Go on the dodge diesel site. Guy on there suggesting at -5 you should put Vaseline on all door/window seals.....and windshield wipers !!!! So they don't freeze shut!!


Funny chit!
