Re: Liberty CRD cold start
You don't have to leave it on all night.
What I do/did is buy a timer and have it come on 4 hours before you normally leave for work or whatever. This works well for me I also have a battery blanket warmer installed. On the coldest days it starts up like it was tropical outside. And it's throwing heat before I get to Tim Horton's for my morning coffee :-) Next is an in-cab heater Matt Macchiarolo wrote: > At these temps, an hour for the block heater isn't going to do a lot of > good.

Re: Liberty CRD cold start
I did that as well and found it warms up a lot quicker if it's left on
overnight especially if it's below 10F and windy.
