Anyone have any luck with Aftermarket engine block heaters?

If so please let me know what you have and where to get one.

I have a magnetic one that I use on my forklift... honestly, I cant say it helps at all..

Yeah a friend of mine uses one on his chipper and it does absolutely nothing. I'm thinking of going with a circulating one that the coolant flows through.

You can get a block heater that replaces a freeze plug just like factory installed in pickups. I think there's a decent selection you just need your freeze plug size.

Those work pretty well. Just mount it on the lower radiator hose.
