I’m a little scared to go cold start my diesel that can’t be plugged in.

I bought a battery blanket this year as it integrates a lot better than a charger. My regret is that it doesn't have a long enough cord to reach the same place as the block heater, so that's a bit of a fail.
Maybe ill take my truck for a beer run today lol
My charger is currently sitting on my mustangs battery on a shelf.

I’ve started keeping the truck on the charger since I’m not driving it as much. But I might just cave and use Skip for food instead of driving this weekend
See Crank. See Crank Walk. Walk Crank Walk.
TPIM, you seen my slick one plug, two devices install? I'm proud of myself. 2A noco onboard charger and block heater both connect to my front license plate.

Have any pics of the wiring setup? I’m guessing you just spliced the block heater and charger cords together and put an outlet on that?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Also both our vehicles are in the shop and my diesel has the block heater hooked to a remote outlet so I can turn it on if I need before I leave

I'd be willing to pay you to install that on my truck. Cash in hand, under the table. That's two separate things.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

wait an handjob AND cash? wow, that's a deal this girl can't refuse. The F150 centre license plate makes it pretty easy. I'd have to take a look at your truck to figure out the wire routing.

I’m sure I have a very slight drain somewhere, easier to quickly hook up a tender while it sits than try and hunt down the slightly imperfect ground that is probably to blame, especially on a 12 year old truck I just use to haul my dog and drive on bad road days.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Well your an exception. I'm talking about everyone else out there who doesn't realize that before winter check your battery and coolant.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Geesh!
Are you new on car forums? Every winter we have a pretty good selection of people with battery problems in cold weather. Not you I guess. And not @speedog either, but a good fraction of the rest of us mortals.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
