I'm going to be replacing those things every couple of years from now on after a recent incident in west texas when the one on my 940t folded. after recirculating hot engine compartment air at 110deg+ outside it melted down a number of sensors including the amm . it got so hot the plastic for the clips on the air box melted, and the engine temp spiked pretty good too ( had evans waterless coolant in the thing so no engine damage).
definately schedualing replacement on the air box thermostats from now on.

I think block heaters are only about $15 at the parts bin, but a coolant line tank type heater you don't have to worry aboutleaks where the heater goes into a freeze plug
