I did manage to find the block heater cords, and I am always looking for cheap sound deadening, I saw a thread where someone put something like that in the doors. I agree that I should be putting that under the hood. I wondering if it would help keep the sound down on the street, too, the hood itself vibrates pretty good with the engine running!
This past week I did replace the starter with
this one, it claims to be completely new and not remanned, I guess we will see how it works.
Also replaced the rear main seal and oil pan seal. Had to jack the engine up to get at the oil pan seal. Just hoping to keep the mess on the street to a minimum.
I'm starting to wonder how many miles are on this engine, I wish there were options for rebuilding or replacing them but most people consider the 6.2 not worth working on.
