3rd gen block heater?
Is a block heater available for the 3rd gen 3.4? My runner sits in an unheated garage, so it gets pretty cold. I'd like to have a block heater for the really cold nights.

Yes, they are available. Here is a write up on one installed on a 3rd gen.

Thanks for the install link. Found that earlier today, but haven't found one for sale yet.

Freeze Plug/Immersion Engine Heater
Put that into a search on ebay or google. Your local auto parts store will probably be able to get them as well.

Thanks for the tip. I'm now considering the oil pan heater pads instead. They seem like a better idea anyway.

Gawd, that'd be awesome. But, running a pad heater or two for a few hours a night would be much more economical...especially since my garage is mostly non-insulated.
