A little nippy this morning. My 77 gas did not want to turn over this morning. I have an in-line coolant heater. The hose is hot on the side going up to the radiator. and cold on the end connected to the block. Can anyone recommend a solution for keeping my baby warm on the cool WI tundra or a quality heater?

Cool,

I too live in Wisconsin and need a heater for my 5000 Ford diesel in order to start. I always plug it in for at least 2 hours before trying to start it. When I touch the lower hose, it is warm (the top hose is hot!!!). When I start the tractor, I do not need ether, glow plug, or even the excess fuel button to start it, it just starts immediately since the entire block is warm to the touch.

I think you need to see how your heater is plumbed. The hose from the top of the heater should go directly into the block - not the radiator - you do not want to heat the radiator.

My tank heater goes directly into the block and then returns directly from the block, so it bypasses the radiator entirely. If installed properly, your block will warm in a couple of hours even at -20F. I have mine set on a timer so that it turns on whenever I want and it's ready when I am.

Sounds as though you have the heater installed in the wrong hose. Because the heat rises, the heater should be placed in the lower radiator hose to prevent heat loss from the radiator.
Covering the radiator and the engine with a blanket can help also. Especially the radiator.
hope this helps.
