2004 Engine block heaters

[DJaquez]

I checked my 2500 HO tonight and it has a block heater installed minus (-) the AC cord which has to be purchased separately. It is mounter in the engine on the left side (looking from Grill back) just behind the filter. Has a black rubber cap on it.



Part cost 36 from Dodge and 26 from Cummins + shipping.



By the way my gear lash was not set there was none which resulted in toasted gears in the rear end.

Are you sure it was "gear lash" that caused the problem and not a low lube level ?

 

[DJaquez]

Can only go by what I was told? I did question the lube the Dealer assured me that the lube was fine. :-( I guess they are the ones that will know for sure. I am just happy that it is fixed.

Gear lash is a warrantable issue. DC would not pay for lack of lube, unless there was a leak. The head shed had already paid them 3 hours labor to PDI the truck which includes checking ALL lube levels.
