hey guys, i have a 1997 psd cali-ed i was wondering where is the block heater located? any help or pics will be greatly appreciated.

 

Its location is just above the oil filter.
The end of the electrical plug is located below the drivers side battery. It is hard to find and may be tie wrapped and the electrical end may have a cover protecting it.

 

mine is in the oil cooler near to the oil filter connector and goes to there with a cable to the left front of the truck near to the radiator and core support.

 

Here is a pic of the oil cooler where the block heater screws and the block heather itself.

 

The plug is camouflaged in plain sight so to speak. Look under the bumper looking up into the area of the battery. If the cord has never been used it will be wire tied in place to the sheet metal beside the radiator.

 

Jose' Great pics. Reps sent.

 

X2^ I tried to rep ya but I gotta spread it around.

 

Merci beaucoup, amigos.

 

RÖENTGEEP, nice pics. i saw that area on my truck and all i saw was a plug with a 1/2 in socket recess. is this the only location? also how much are the heaters and the cord?

 

Thats the only one. Here is a pic with the connector and part of the cord in the upper part of the pic:

 

Have seen replacements on ebay heres a current one I think will fit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kats-...Q5fAccessories

 

97s did have the option of not having a block heater.... but you could just take the plug out and put a replacement one in if that is the case.

 

Thanks Roentgeep. Like '95 dually, I got to spread some reps first, or so it says.

 

You are welcome. No problem
