I had to install a block heater in my GC. Starts like a champ now. I have the heater set on a timer for 3am to 6am daily...waiting for that big morning snow
Three hours is a long time for such a small engine block. How cold are you getting to? I find 1 hr at +15F was plenty for it to fire up easily and stay running. (I still had to use 45 seconds of glow plug and 1/4-1/3 throttle during cranking). You can probably save your self some money by cutting back on the timer use.
