Ford f150 I6 block heater?
I have a 95 f150 I6, it has a block heater on it and it works great, no problems starting up. But going to school all day and already being down in the negatives in Wisconsin, when i get out of school it has trouble, is there a cordless block heater that i can get? possibly magnetic and runs on a timer but is there something I could get like that?
I have a brand new batter and already had everything tested, working fine. I just want a little assistance starting up. It starts fin without it I am just wondering about a cordless block heater.

Nobody I have heard of makes a cordless block heater. I would suggest adding a second battery, diesels and cars with large audio systems all run 2 batteries to supply the necessary power. If you added a second battery and wired it in parallel, you should have enough juice to start in cold weather without issue.

Do you mean a device for keeping the block warm in freezing weather? If that's what you're talking about, consider this: Unless your truck was built for and sold in an area where extreme cold is a problem, it may not have one. They are options. Most people in the south have never even heard of them. If you bought it new, contact your dealer. Ask them if it came with one. Also, depending on what type (a lot of dealers in cold climes put them on as an add on freebie, since they're relatively inexpensive) it could be in two or three places some utilize block access through pre-existing threaded plug holes, a few actually utilize freeze plug ports, and other cheapos use the oil drain plug hole.....these tend to shorten your oil life...... Does your manual make mention of one? Anyway....If you've scoured the lower block and front end high and low and can't find anything, chances are it doesnt have one. If on the other hand you're talking about the heater core.....its in the passenger compartment in the underworks of the dash/firewall area.....look for the boxy area with the floor ducts coming out of it.

You may need a tune up or a stronger battery. Check the age of the battery Go to a auto parts store
and have them test the charging system. Make sure the alternator is putting out enough amps and
the battery tests good. They can also make sure the starter is working properly. A vehicle in good
operating condition should start even though the temp. is below zero.
