I really agree with the timer, I run mine from 3a.m-6:30 or whenever I leave. It also makes a world of difference in starting.

I DO need to get a timer.

Mine was about $6 at Walmart

I don't want one of those retarded dial type ones; I want one that you can set like an alarm clock.

just be careful because the 83 to late 85's will crack. go to oilburners.net and read about some horror story. i say if you haven't used it before, don't.

Why not? I typically start my truck then unplug, just so at the very least, it can idle and warm up while I'm unplugging and putting the cord away.
