Default Plug found in my engine!?

So, I was changing out my Air Filter to install a K&N High flow kit, and there is this plug, with a chord just like that goes from your lamp to your wall, as I followed it, it was somewhat next to my Banks Torque Tube header I had put in last week. So I pulled it, and it came off. I just new it wasn't supposed to be there. Now, here is the question, what the heck was a plug doing dangling off/and around my torque tube header?? Anyone. I can post a pic of the plug I pulled off tonight when I get home. Thx

^#3 Block heater. I have 2 on my jeep. one on my oil pan and i can't remember where my other one was/is. I use to live in -40 to -60 degrees Celsius, they tend to not work too well in that cold even when you cover it up with a tarp and blanket

-60c, God, whats that in American temps? Never actually seen a block heater, just know of their existence, coldest is gets here is maybe 25 Fahrenheit, 1 or 2 days every couple years. Course you probably don't have to deal with 112 degrees in the summer.

Hahaha yeah thats very true. Hahahaha yeah it does not get that temp here in surrey. That was back when i lived in Northern Alberta small place called Rainbow lake. Very muddy but fun for any type of offroad. Better for mud runs though if you ask me. The swamp surrounding it is bigger the the Florida everglades Haha
