Fast warm up ideas: Double engine block heaters
This one is easy.
Install a second stock engine block heater or find your vehicles stock heater, get 2 of them and install.
What does that do?
You might think it wastes double the power.
It actually saves power. Instead of leaving the standard single 600 watt heater plugged in all night I have found that you really only need about two hours with double block heaters to reach close to the same level of heat you get running a single block heater all night.
