I'll take the cold over the extreme heat any day, you can dress for
-40 but you can never take off enough clothing for hot days like I
have experienced in Phoenix in June. I have 2 block heaters in my
vehicle one in the block and an inline one located in the bottom rad
hose as a backup in case the other one fails. I once had to crawl
under my vehicle in the winter to replace a block heater and swore I
would never be with out a back up of some sort. When at work I also
run an interior ceramic heater (since I'm not paying for power there)
it's nice to hop into a vehicle at -30C out side to find it a nice
balmy 20 degrees inside :)
