You sure you dont have a block heather check under the passenger headlight if not were do you live to need to plug it in? and Welcome to the chapter

if you dont have one and want to plug in check ebay... or i think geno's garage has them too. the dealerships want 100+ for them... you dont need to plug in unless you are seeing solid 0' temps...

my truck had the block heater but no cord when i bought it, it had a black cap over the heater :confused013: so i checked around local part stores and i had a hard time trying to match it up. so i went to the dealership and it only cost $60 or so.

the heater it self is located on the right side of the block under the exhaust manifold near the oil filter. it will have a round black threaded cap on it.

your truck should have the heater already.. you just need the cord. genosgarge.com has them for way cheaper than the dealer

 

[ynots57]

i ordered one from genos garage, $13.95 (+$6.00 shipping). i have always gotten great service from them.

The block heater is a standard feature on the Cummins. On my 07 they didnt include the cord either so I picked one up direct from Cummins on 2100 S and 5600 w for 15 bucks. I think its a good idea to plug your truck in anytime the temps are below freezing if you can. Cold starts cause un-needed wear and plus these trucks take forever to warm up.

Well put my friend.... My philosophy exactly..... Injust plug mine in all the time in the winter then I don't feel so bad just starting it and let it idle for about a minute than I take off

you guys should feel lucky i cant plug mine in unless its 25* or colder i used to do it sll the time but when i plugged it in when it was say 32* it would throw a false code and cut my power below stock. I would love to plug it in every night just for the reason it idles quieter and warms up quicker. Oh well though

 

[snackpack]

i also plug mine in all winter

dont know about 3rd gens but my first gen recommends plugging it in 40 degrees or lower, and its a must after 0, it seems to drive 100times better if i plug it in, so i do every night in the winter time.

[the_transporter]

Any Cummins service center should have one. I bought mine at Transport Diesel here in Logan. I don't remember how much I paid, but I know it was under $20

 

[VANNY]
