3.0 block heater location question.
Hello,
The wife ended up driving out the driveway without unpluging the block heater - wrecked the cord, and pulled it out of the truck... Replaced the end of the cord, but don`t know where the blug is ment to attach to the truck. Does anyone know where the female end is meant to plug into the truck for the block heater - any help is appreciated. Thanks. -I have tried searching, and found nothing pointing the direction. Happy Holidays! |
It will probly be in a freeze(welch)plug on the lower end of the engine block.

Would there be a place that I could find a diagram, or something pointing to the location?
thanks for the reply. |
doubt you'll find a diagram. if I remember correctly, block heaters were aftermarket options. so, look around the engine.
|
On both of mine they are just around the oil filter.
One is just to the right of the motor mount. |
They are indeed not a factory installed option, unless you have a diesel engine. They could potentially be anywhere, so there is no diagram to tell you where they are.

Thanks, I'll shall "check around the engine" that narrows it down a lot!
I am only asking as it's -40 degrees celcius here and i'm out in the cold and would like to spend as little time as possible searching. I shall check round the oil filter - I realize it will probably be on the block. Just don't know where the frost plugs are in these engines. Never had one apart. Happy New Years. |

Would it help if I told you where it ISN'T installed? :D |
