lifting of dodge 4x4

Q: has anyone else corrolated a direct relationship between use of thier block heater and dramaticilly higher electric bills just as cold last month but bill was much lower. and i was away this month i plugged in the ol gal 2 x on exceptionally cold mornings and this month my bill was about double. on sat 08 jan 2005 191426 gmt goat fake@not-real.net wrote the block heater probably draws around 800 watts or so. assuming 800 watts for 8 hours that would be 6.4 kw & assuming you are paying 8 cents for every kwh that would be $.51 for every 8 hours of use. goat so doing the math bob used the block heater two nights. goat figured that cost $1.02 cents. bob says he electric bill was double what it usually is. id sure like to have a $2.04 electric bill for a month! ;- well he said his electric bill and mine comes every 2 months so its $4.08!!!! .

iirc what is that is that where i can find one thanks. dodge uses a plastic track for the windows...yours sounds like it is shot. they are fairly inexpensive $50 iirc but they will charge you about 100 bills for labor. i did several on minivans etc. and they are fairly easy. takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. hello all. ive got a 99 durango and the front right window wont budge but im not sure of the problem i havent taken off the door panel just yet...figured id post the diagnosis here first. the window is in the up position good so this doesnt need to be a quick fix but something id like to get done and when i try to roll it down i can hear the motor start to move it but it doesnt move more than about 1/16. so it sounds to me like the motor isnt shot but that there might be something in the track or possibly something broke off inside it stopped working on a very cold day and i tried to roll it down and it got about 1/4 of the way down and i heard a snap. any ideas id like to fix it myself but havent had the time to remove the panel to investigate and see if it is something i can handle. thanks for any suggestions. .
