It seems you just place it anywhere on the engine and plug it in....but does it work?

I use mine mostly for my diffs if it's extremely cold. They're also great for warming up water in a pot. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Consider one for putting in a frost plug, or better yet, a heat pad for your oil pan. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
