I know this is a little crazy, since the temps here are pretty warm, but a previous thread got me looking for my block heater. I cant find that thing to save my life. I read the owners manual, and it said it would be by the pass. side headlight. no luck there either!! so does anyone know where it might be, or is it possible i just dont have one? It's a 2005 Dodge 2500 thanks
i looked, and no info there either. i do know you can buy them as an add on from the dealer, but 35k for a truck, it should come with a friggin block heater!! ryan
As far as i know all cummin`s come with the block heater in place, but you may have to buy the cord, the heater is just by the oil filter, on the fire wall side,
I agree, all 3rd generation trucks with Cummins diesels do have the block heater. Not all of them had the cord, unless it was specified when ordered (a $10 option at that time) it won't have the cord. You should be able to get the cord from Cummins or Dodge. Rumor has it, the thing is between $20 and $50. Probably want to shop around to see who'll give the lowest price.
Check NAPA or a Freightliner Dealership..... I've read on some other diesel truck sites that a cord can be ordered (and sometimes in stock) from your local NAPA dealer and / or Freightliner dealer, if you have either of those nearby.......and usually not much more than $12 to $15 bucks. Greg
thats awsome, i appreciate the answers, that gives me a couple of leads. that sux that i have to pay more than the option to get it when i bought the truck. oh well. thanks again for the help, i really appreciate it. ryan
gsbrockman, if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for the srt-10 pillar, i have been trying to convince people that it will work in my truck, and not even the dealership parts dept thinks it will work. thanks again ryan
I'm going off memory, but I believe around $44 bucks with my discount. The pillar should work on any 3rd GEN truck, and you can keep the grab handle, too. The DiPricol gauge was a drop-in also ! Greg
