I just got my 2019 2500 Ram Cummins from an AZ dealer and brought it back to Colorado. Havent looked yet but doesn't have a cold weather package on the window sticker. Question is I still have a left over cord for a 2011 so I don't need that but before I order a block heater element does all late Cummins come with the element already installed?

all 6.7 cummins have the heater installed. just above and to the left of the oil filter as viewed through fender hole. usually has a black cap on the connection point to keep it sealed up if there is no cord with the truck. cheers comrade!

Though SW Arizona has mild winters, with our thin atmosphere and almost always clear nights, it still can get quite chilly. This month (November) I have resumed using my block heater so that I can start the rig right up, without engaging the pre-ignition warming system. First thing I do when I awake, is go out in the driveway and plug it in. In just an hour it sufficiently heated. It gives a good, reassuring feeling knowing I am not drawing down the the batteries, and also not running the engine unnecessarily cold.

Why not just put it on a timer ( did this on my 06 for 12 years) that way you don't have to go out to plug it in every morning...
Exactly. I did that on my 91 when I was living in CT. An hour was enough to get it warm enough to fake out the wait to start sensor.

2019 RAM 2500 Laramie 6.4 gas here. What does the 6.4 need to get the block heater? It was ordered as a Texas truck so obviously it wasn’t added. Well we are moving to a high elevation area in Idaho and may want to get one installed.

They make them for the gas engines, they fit in one of the freeze plug openings, Mopar use to have them...

Make sure your extension cord is up to the task. Pretty sure this is a 1500W element, so it will draw 10-12 amps.

Ever thought of doing a 125 to 150 watt oil pan heater instead.An oil pan heater is a whole lot easier to install,does more for starting at cold temps as it keeps the oil warm.It's cold oil that makes them hard to start,not cold pistons.Plus it's a lot cheaper to keep plugged in,a block heater will put a noticeable increase on your power bill if it's plugged in overnight for several nights in a row.

Yup,but i still prefer warm oil at -40,lol.Plus a 125 to 150 watt oil pan heater is far easier to install,and will work on the same timer as the block heater is on,and will still be cheaper to run then a 500 watt block heater.
Another thing is,i've never had those damn outdoor timers last worth crap,and they always go south on the coldest night,lol

Wow back in 2006 I paid $15.00 for an HD timer and it never failed me for the 12 years I used it.Yup,but i still prefer warm oil at -40,lol.Plus a 125 to 150 watt oil pan heater is far easier to install,and will work on the same timer as the block heater is on,and will still be cheaper to run then a 500 watt block heater.

Better re-read it again,you apparently didn't read the thread well enough to pick up on who i was quoting and replying to. BTW all we ever had on farm tractors was oil pan heaters,as long as the diesal wasn't gelled they all fired up at -40 temps,the propane tractors were another story,they also needed an electric blanket on the tanks to get the propane flowing.

I've went through probably a 1/2 dozen of them over the years,i don't think i've ever had one last a whole winter,now i have all the outdoor plugs on switches inside the house,plug everything in when i get home,then flip the switch in the morning.
