Hello all,
I'm looking for an engine block heater for a 2006 Chevy Colorado, 2.8 engine.
I'm finding block heaters with a " thermostatically controlled cord required for compatibility with the OBDII systems in these vehicles".
Why would there be a compatibility issue with an engine block heater?
I'm told the thermostat in the cord won't turn on the block heater until the temp hits 0 degrees F, I'd rather have it heating before that. Not seeing why I couldn't cut the thermostat plug off the end of the cord and put on a normal plug.
Any ideas? I feel like I'm missing something here.
