Minot is 4 hours, Fargo looks like 7 hours. Both doable, But Fargo would definately require an overnight stay.

This has been our first week with snow in G.F. and its already below zero. This sucks and further proves that global warming is a bunch of rubbish, and Alan Gore = Ass Hat.

Regina to Fargo is 520 miles, Regina to Minot is 250 miles. Minot is a fair bit closer. That was a full 1/4 mile in Minot right?

Also negative on knowing those two people from Regina....But they are from Regina so I'm sure they are awesome.

eagetal96 · 12-03-2007, 03:02 PM

Minot is only 1/8th mile.

Do any of you fools have a block heater installed on your car....if so how much was it and who installed it...just looking for opinions. Also do any of you have car starters?

SilverBeast · 12-07-2007, 12:17 AM

Car starter= negative. I wanna be there when it starts.
Block heater = negative. But you can by the pt cruiser one, put it in the middle(i think) plug and do it yourself. The part number is available if you search this forum. Or you could go with some other block heater that is available. magnetic to the oil pan or some go in the radiator hoses.

No and No on both of those Q's I probably should have a block heater because it save the engine a lil bit but idk.

You need a friend with a heated garage.

I installed the pt block heater in my srt this week. I did it when I put my new turbo-back exhaust on. With the downpipe off, the turbo discharge pipe taken off, and the power steering cooler unbolted and hanging down, it wasn't too difficult to get at the frost plug.

However, DO NOT push the frost plug all the way into the block. Unfortunately, I did that, and it took 4+ hours to finally mangle it enough to get it out.

I have yet to try the block heater on a real cold start, but in our heated shop I plugged it in for ~10 min and according to my scangauge it raised the coolant temp about 15 degrees in that time. So I figure it's working.

Where did you purchase the block heater? I just went to lithia chrysler here in GFK and they said that they dont have anything for a PT cruiser or srt-4.

srt4farmer · 12-13-2007, 06:09 PM

I bought it from Jimmy at Speed and Power Development last summer.

Part No. 82206785 and it was $32.20 when I bought it last April.

send a pm to thepowertowin and he'll hook you up

I second that S&P is the shit, they are one of the best vendors on the forums.

eagetal96 · 12-23-2007, 04:47 PM

Thanks for the info, how is this shit weather treating everybody? I have to drive to Omaha tommorrow, in the GF's scion though. That thing gets pretty good MPG's.

SilverBeast · 12-24-2007, 12:58 AM

How Shitty that weather just beyond the border? We were at -22C or -3F today. It isn't that bad, but last week was all around 32F which was awfully nice.
