    so what does one do?turn the screw to the right for more,or to the left? and how much is too much of a turn. i do realize i gotta get all my other mods done first,but i will write this all down for when the time comes.

    yes dual block heaters are awesome. i ran my 79 blazer(gas) as a crew truck up north in the mid 90's and one cold snap it got down to -52c and it was reading on the temp gauge when i started it up in the morning.:thumbsup: i still say that was my most fav truck ever.she is missed.i rolled her.
