I live in Colorado and I'm assuming the 350 6.0 I just bought does not have heaters on it. Any suggestions as to what works as an after market block heater?

 

i live in the chicago area and ford said it didnt get cold enough to need the heater. the dealer put one on after i told them that was a load of crap.it was free. i did have to buy a new one four years later. about $50.00 heater and cord from ford. that was this month

 

All 6.0L Powerstroke equipped Super Duties have a block heater. Not all of them came with the cord.

 

But I'm guessing that it is not too much trouble to put the cord in? I'm completely new with this engine so where is the heater located?

 

mine was on the passenger side upper corner by the fire wall. easy to get to from under the truck

 

i did have a cord to follow though. wound up not replacing it just the heater and a new plug end

 

From what I've read on here it is usually the cord and not the block heater itself that fails, I've replaced my cord once and my heater still works great.(this was for the guys replacing their block heaters) The block heater is located just above the starter on the passenger side of the motor.

 

Thanks all. I'll get a cord and plug it in.
