I was flip'n through the LMC catalog a saw a block heater for sell. I realize it would be important in minus temperatures, but do they work for temperatures in the 20's.

My truck has a heater only control, which means I do not have A/C to dry the air. Cold damp mornings it takes close to 15 minute to defrost the windshield and get heat to my feet.

1) Does a block heater remedy either or both of these problems?

2) How easy are they to put in?

3) If you buy a new block do you use the old heater or buy a new heater?
