In-line heater

[Frozen Willy]

Greetings all, from the frozen North. I have a 02 VUE that I want to put an in-line heater in instead of a block heater. I searched the forums and didn't see anything about this, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has done this and what you think of it. Thanks

Willy

There used to be a product that plumbed into the lower or upper radiator hose and either worked electrically from an outlet or was propane powered. It was in J.C. Whitney's years ago but don't know if it's still made. It circulated the coolant throughout. May still be around if you Googled it.

An oil pan heater is probably the most beneficial and easiest to install.
