Default block heater temps

im just currious as to what everyone around the country in the different areas is seeing their engine temps get to with the block heaters plugged in over night. also theoretically what does cummins say it should get the engine to, if anyone knows.

Sup,

When it was getting down in the 30's, I plugged it in to see what the temp would be. When I unplugged and looked at the scanguage, it was like 100-107 degrees prior to me starting it up. This was a couple years ago, and since then sold the scanguage and never thought to check it again. As far as what it should be I have no clue.
