Buddy’s 2002 Toyota Tundra 4.7. He’s using a lower radiator hose heater to help with cold starts this winter. But the truck has been very hard to start after being plugged in. He says it took 45 seconds of on/off cranking to start today. Water temp is just off the cold mark during hard starts. Truck starts fine when not plugged in.
Seems like the heater is doing something counterproductive. Any ideas what is going on? Web seems void of answers on this issue.
