RE: Cascadia Block Heater

In Canada here most block heaters for big rigs are close to 1,500 watts, or maybe 1,200. A lot of trucks, last three I had, also have an oil pan heater ( about 150 watts ) tied into the same plug.
I bought a new 1998 Century from a Vancouver. It had a plug that I assumed was a block heater. First time it was really cold the truck wouldn't turn over. Turned out it only had the oil pan heater. Fine for Vancouver weather, but not enough for -30 in Alberta. I had the dealer install the block heater after that. Wasn't too much money.
