Block Heat
Here is my question.
I have a 94 f-150 that does not have a block heater.
I do have a magnetic heater that I want to use but am not sure of the best place to put it. I thought of putting it on the oil pan or the radiator. Any suggestions? I want to keep it on all winter so I have to tuck it out of the way. Thanks to all who respond!

Not really a fan of magnetic heaters, they don't have the best heat transfer and sometimes tend to get caught and fall off while driving. If you were to use it, I suppose the best place would be the oil pan since it has a large enough area to attach it. But I would recommend an in-line lower radiator hose heater, it fits between the hose and works just like a regular block heater and they aren't that expensive.
